Do People Ever Ask You about Your NATO Strap?

more_vert
Are you ever out and about, or out with acquantances, wearing a watch on a NATO strap, and someone asks you, "Hey, uh, what's the deal with that watch strap? Do you need me to help you to trim it to fit? Why are there so many metal loops on it?" I know you can buy expensive Swiss factory original watches on OEM NATOs, but it strikes me that in the normal world, with watches that normal people, even wealthy people, wear, NATOS are still a bit weird. (I personally have had no comments, but I don't wear NATOs that often.)

People rarely notice my watch, usually only other WIS. If they do it is usually with a compliment, haven't had anyone ask about a NATO. When wearing a Turtle on a NATO I have gotten the comment "that watch is huge" a couple of times.

No comments thus far from others. I’m just grateful to have a lightweight, durable band for surfing/watersports. Is this a question you recieve often?

I think not every one "gets" a NATO. I was one of those people too and I've just about come around. I've ordered myself a Bond NATO, and will probably fit it to my single hand Luch.
