NATO straps

[dan]

I don't like them but I also understand that some people might so i'm probably not welcome here.

[speedingfine]

Get out Dan they look shite and it's unacceptable.

Is this what people mean when they identify as non-binary?

This place's ability to have long drawn out argument on literally any subject is amazing .

No that's when people prefer records to CDs

[integrale_evo]

I have no idea what a NATO strap is.

I have no idea what a NATO strap is.

But you agree they are awful? That’s OK then.

It's when people take a nice watch and put a shit fabric strap on it, because reasons and lols and fighting and clubbing and watch forums.

For example:

Think of them like the cravat of the watch scene

[NotoriousREV]

Think of them like the cravat of the watch scene

Or the painted letters on tyres of the watch scene.

All the guys on the tyre paint forum think mine look cool, and I’ve never had a tyre come off the rim since I did it. Draw your own conclusions.

Yeah, post this thread on the NATO straps forum and see what they think.

For example:

I was blissfully unaware of NATO straps but if that is a typical example I am definitely in the "looks a bit shit" camp. So essentially they are like Animal straps but less practical?

Perfectly summed up.

I had to google 'animal straps'. Is this you, Gavin?

Ah, not that kind! I probably weigh in about the same as that lads left leg! Animal did a fie range of watches a long time ago with velcro straps that stopped your timepiece flying off mid kung fu move!

Velcro straps belong in Rev's other thread.

Hard to believe a 90s fashion velcro watch strap is being compared to a military issue strap from a quarter of a century earlier

Crazy isn’t it! Who could possibly compare a watch strap to a watch strap!!!!!!!!!

It's like saying you really like Tragedy by Steps and haven't heard of the Bee Gees.
