    PRS-48 Navigator NATO Options?

    Struggling with my newly acquired Navigator.. those lug hole positions are a pain.. I dont have a nato that will fit even with skinny pins.. Im slightly miffed.. Is two piece nato the only way forward with this watch?

    another option might be something like a Perlon strap? I have several and prefer them to any nato.

    No recommendation, just a link to a seller as an example (have got mine from ebay previously)

    What type of Natos are you trying to use?! I wear mine exclusively on Natos and I never had one that doesnt easily fit.

    Mostly generic stuff I have collected over the years.. but purchased a Haveston one which doesnt even squeeze through.. its 1.5mm thick.. What are you using Neil? maybe my stock from the PRS29a is just too thick.. Thanks, Steve

    Yes I suppose thicker ones might struggle. I like the bog standard Phoenix-style “as issued” thin nylon Nato’s on mine and they fit beautifully. I do have some Haveston and other canvas straps but haven’t tried them with the Navigator.

    FWIW my current favourite Nato is this from Watchgecko. Very expensive (for a Nato) at 25 but they really are superior in quality and last a lot longer than most others.

    I dont remember having any problems with any of the NATOs I had.
