Friends should never let friends wear a NATO - so this is not a recommendation what to do to your Seiko SRPA21 ;)

Our dear Nilo is generally shocked by putting beloved tic-tacs on the most workmanlike of straps - the military inspired NATO ones. So I hope you forgive me, Nilo. At the same time, I was bored and looking to experiment a bit, and here are some results. The watch in question is the Seiko Prospex SRPA21 (better known as the PADI Turtle).
In terms of summer wear, I generally prefer something lighter than the robust but by no means featherweight stainless steel bracelet, so I started looking for some options a while ago. And while the first experiments yielded some interesting results (here:
www.watchprosite.com
for pictures), I was not fully satisfied with what came out. The current option I like much better.
Even though the colour may match, I would not suggest this seriously as an office wear watch
But for the beach or the weekend, I find the wave pattern white / blue NATO works perfectly with the blue dial and Pepsi bezel of the Seiko Turtle.
At the same time I have some further experiments up my sleeve (no pterodactyl for this one, though)
Thanks for viewing!
