You do you. That’s what this crazy hobby is all about. Rock it!
If you’re like where I live. Maybe once every month or so someone may recognize a piece here and there. So if you like, wear it. I think it looks good and, it’s the only one ever !
If you think it does, then it does!
You're the only one who can bend the rules of your reality, just ask L'Avvocato
Since you asked....
In my eyes, it is certainly not distasteful, but at the same time not particularly appropriate.... Hope that provides any degree of aid in determining social sentiment of it among likeminded enthusiasts.... Cheers, Filip
Thanks for the replies!
Mixed opinions but some very considered (and polite!) responses. I will probably wear it for a bit and then revert to the rubber again. I don't think I'm too concerned about scratching the case back with the strap but that is something I hadn't considered...
Aside from the look, how does it wear?
The NATO raises the profile on the wrist which takes getting used to. I would worry about door jam encounters.
That's a good point.
It wears very comfortably but it is definitely sitting higher on the wrist.
From the picture, it looks alright to me
I do think the rubber strap suits this watch best and the bracelet a very close second. That’s just my opinion though. If it’s something you like, stick with it. That’s what I would do.
