Certainly got potential, would like to see the full colour picture before passing on judgement though.
The only non bracelet combo i've really liked is the Explorer on gasgasbones, there are a few pics on the net an d it looks da'bomb.
I've always struggled to get this to look right and I always but end up back on the bracelet. Think I might have found one which works.

Looks good!
There's also the 'Tudor Heritage' NATO that looks good - it's similar but has a thinner orange stripe
i like the look of it but much prefer the bracelet, especially as the bracelet is so comfy and well made
Looks quite nice, but is the NATO 1mm too wide?
It's just a matter of time...
Well spotted,must be careful not to prematurely wear the inside of the lugs.
It's a bit "matching shoes & handbags" & looks slightly twee
I'd prefer a straight contrast - maybe plain black or dark grey
Twee maybe, but your choice is boring and unimaginative.Originally Posted by Dapper

Did someone mention handbags? At dawn...maybe?
To answer the OP...yes, you can.
I quite like that, it's a bit of fun after all and nothing that's irreversible. Have you got the picture in full colour instead of greyed out?
you can put one on a shoestring if you want :) , looks fine to me - personally i think natos are very comfortable and have them on most of my watches , just changing to leather or bracelet as needed.
On the basis that "It's not what you wear, it's the way that you wear it", then perhaps you yourself are best placed to decide.
If it feels right, then it is right.
Rolex and Nato is a common combination, IMHO. They fit nicely in most cases.
Yours is a fantastic combo IMHO.
I guess it is but I like the slight over lap of the bigger 22mm vs. 21mm.
:). black and grey do not really show any imagination.....his opinion vs. My opinion. No handbags required although I am sure he has quite a dapper collection.

No. They look rubbish on most watches, and they should certainly never be used to disfigure a Rolex.
It's trying too hard - and it's twee, and sweet, but if that's the look you are going for you've nailed it ;-)

It's a different use of imagination
I've sold hundreds of NATOs for Rolex, mainly Subs and mainly the "Bond".

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Personally I dont like them, but yes lots of people do.
There are quite a few threads on The Rolex Forum asking "where can I buy a NATO?". I get a lot of sales from there.

Heritage blue absolute stunner.
watchmad - I would also say that Red RubberB is nice.
Don't like this one, even though I generally find the polar explorer to be the most versatile. Looks good on leather nato, olive, sand, black, navy, grey.
They sure can!
I'd say yes - & I'll go out on a limb here - even with the newer designs ...
but that's because I tend to switch mine between a these Natos & RubberB
It's very rarely on the bracelet.

+1 sorry but the pictures after this reference on the thread fail to convince
I quite like my explorer on a GGB.....
I'd say no. Look great in pics, on my wrist like a bit of camping equipment. Really tried to like Nato straps but IMHO just horrid. Even dare I say a bit nerdy. Sorry!
The obvious answer seems to me to be "if it's your watch you can do wtf you like with it".
Slightly different watch but when I had this Explorer, I really liked it on the gray nato.
I was just going to post that I'd seen a white faced explorer on a grey nato ....Slightly different watch but when I had this Explorer, I really liked it on the gray nato.
Lovely ......
On my phone, so I might just not see it properly, but have you taken the cyclops off? Looks great on grey!Slightly different watch but when I had this Explorer, I really liked it on the gray nato.
What an untwee combo :-)
Gray
good combination
You do see it properly.
No longer have the watch but a friend modded this by taking the cyclops off and re-painting the GMT hand orange. He also kept all the original parts for the purists but I thought it looked great.
Rolex is made to be on a Nato. Yours perfectI've always struggled to get this to look right and I always but end up back on the bracelet. Think I might have found one which works.
