    Match made in heaven

    Well, imho. I think I found *my* perfect combination now. I don't know where this funny nato (Bond wannabe) came from, but I think it looks the mutts nuts on the 29B!





    I'm not as think as you drunk I am.

    That looks good but I feel strange wearing stripey straps in public. I still haven't found the definitive strap for my 29B but I am in no hurry. For its official duties it always wears a one-piece braided and on its days off, whatever comes to hand. I have now found a pig-skin strap supplier but they taper from 20mm to 16mm … I think 2mm taper was normal for those days, but I find it “too weak” for today.

    One good thing about nylon (braided or otherwise) is that you can use a 20x20 … where if you use a 20x20 leather strap it will overwhelm the watch.

    I will probably settle on some 20x18 leather when I decide on the colour. Brown, dark brown, black. And then there’s also the stitching … I just don’t know. :roll:

    Looks excellent Mike, I have that style of nato's on my PRS3 and CWC and I think they look excellent :wink:

    I think you can get away with a parallel 20mm is it's quite a long strap - it stretches out the whole watch a little.

    Great photos, there's something about the Bond strap that's very eye-catching. I always get more comments on my watches when they're on Bond natos.

    Looks great with the Nato-strap. Gives it a very military look.

    Love my 29b on Nato, but don't have it on Bond. I should definitely get one!

    Yep...that works! I'm wearing a "real" James Bond zulu on my PRS-3.
