ND Sub and NATO Pic Request...

[BigD]

I have always been a fan of the ND Sub on a NATO and I have been thinking about getting one for sometime. The 'problem' is that I have a GMTII and an SD which in the world of 'normal'/uneducated people (depending on how you look at it) are essentially the same. This coupled with the fact I fear that an ND Sub on a NATO may render the rest of my watches as surplus to requirements in the wrist time stakes...

So to help/hinder let me see your NATO'd ND's :D

Thanks in advance... :)

Thanks Cliff and thanks Mike,

I dont think that there is a better watch/strap combination... :(

Must try the SD on a NATO this weekend, will hopefully postpone/stop this problem :)

[seadog1408]

have had my sd on a nato as well dave, and it looks good as well, but............................................... ................nothing sits nicer on the wrist than a 5513/nato combination :D

cheers

So true - that slimmer case sits just right with the Nato behind it! :lol:

I was away to say that looks like a Mk1 Maxi Mike, and very nice it is. I have had a look at a couple of the Mk1's but the thing I have my eye on is a 14060M pre COSC.

SWMBO will lay a mushroom cloud :D

Jeez Dave! Not another! :shock:

I must admit they do look the balls.

When I saw this thread title, I thought "Noooooo!"

Rolex + NATO = wrong! :twisted:

Hopefully someone will post a 5513/5517 or a 5517 and you will see how wrong your equation is :wink:

Nice pics Ryan, thanks. I havent seen one of those bonds in the flesh. Is it Corvet or something like that?

[boddah]

+1

The Bond NATO sure looks nice, it's by Corvus but is $53 with shipping outside the US :shock:

corvus!! one of the guys on turfers bought one and put it on his watch, a couple of weeks later and its falling apart!!

not sure of the outcome but doesnt instill confidence in them.

cheers

Dave, as others have said, the brand is Corvus.

Mine is long go though - I gave it away shortly after I bought it. The material is too thin and the holes are too far apart. I was not impressed. The colors are nice, but the quality, ehh.

Regarding NATOs, it's all I wear during the summer months. I love 'em. I cut off the underside keeper though, to make them similar to Eddie's RAFs.

Thanks Ryan, I have got a few watches that I wear on a NATO and I love them. I had my GMT on a NATO and it looked good but IMO the ND Subs look just right and if I get one I would only wear it on a NATO

I think they look ok on a Bond...



Even better in the warm weather.

Just my humble opinion.

Hi Frank,

gnomonwatches.com

Quality isn't the best on the market (seams are heat welded, not stitched) but the price is quite reasonable.

[walkuere]

Thanks for that, Ryan, sadly couldn't find the specific coulour but they have some nice colour combinations...
- I am off to order another from Eddie, of course, the tz-uk-Nato is still missing in my collection!

Frank

[BigD]

Thanks for all the replies :)

On a Eddie's G10 strap.

I think Alans one is ex milsub stock from Rolex, its a grey purple if that makes sense...

Cliff has one also, the quality is ding but they look great on a 5513 :)

forgot I gave that cheap bast one :)
he's got a couple of freebies off me the bugger

rollies parts prices have gone through the roof
so I wouldn't be suprised if it's more now :(

[BigD]

Decided against the ND's for now...

This is filling the gap nicely and cheaply for now :)

[Gunscrossed]

I did have a pic of one of my old ones on a NATO and with an aftermarket Mil-sub bezel insert but I think I've deleted it.

I find the idea that there's some sort of special Mil-sub NATO a bit strange, I always thought the Mil-subs were supplied by Rolex to the Military 'head only', straps being sourced separatly (from Pheonix straps?)

It has to be said that one that the CWC came on (according to what I have read the 'actual' NATO NATO) is very similar to the Rolex one I have handled... Probably Rolex Dealers applying a tidy markup to the same strap??

[seadog1408]

has anybody come up with a link to these mysterious rolex natos yet?

[Gunscrossed]

Still can't find the pic with the other insert :?

[RyanV]

Just got another one...

[thattallchap]

This is all very well, but can anyone pull off a Dweller on a Nato, or even a Dweller DS??

[davide]

Has nobody got a pic of a Sub on one of Eddie's Bond NATOs with the orange twist?

[seadog1408]

can do the orange twist pic over the weekend :lol: ,

cheers
