Try to use the search function here. There should be ready information and with pics too. A member, taxico, did on his Explorer II. Search for it.

Honestly that I agree, somehow with the original bracelet, it completes the whole dynamic look of a sports rolex..yet having said that, the leather and nato did help eliminate some heft off my pencil wrist and its more comfy too imo

myself with a small wrist, really dun look good with metal strap.. currently own a chopard with rubber strap and a penarai in leather , then recently see my wife buy a rolex, i also want to get one.. but dunno how to combine the rubber strap with a sports rolex together leh..

got abit bored of my GMT2C. Thinking of wearing it with an isofrane rubber strap (does the gmt2c look mismatched with a dive strap?) or a seasoned leather strap....

but the purist side of me tells me that modern rolex sports should be worn with bracelets, and NATO is already abit pushing it liao....

anyone got comments or have more photos to share??

Not true.

My friend James (we call him Bond) wears his rolex on NATO strap

but seriously i think if one can match a rolex well with any strap other than original stock bracelet, it speaks alot about your deep understanding and appreciation into "watch beauty".

i used to wear my Sub on 5stripe nato to match my tie and cufflinks and i received very flattering feedback

to each his own

For me personally, Rolex sports models MUST only be worn with bracelet with the exception of the 18k Daytona. NATO, leather, rubber straps is not traditional in Rolex line but that's just me.

Natos on vintage subs look very nice, personally it makes the watch stand out
