Got a watchgecko NATO for my steinhart ocean one 39. Not that I dislike the bracelet, just for a bit of a change. I'm actually not too sure on it, doesn't look bad but I had high hopes! The strap is fantastic quality, but not too certain if I like the look.

The thing about Natos is, they're function over form in the first instance. I mean, it's a strip of nylon or canvas or whatever else at the end of the day*.
You will find as the strap is worn it relaxes a bit and gives a slightly cleaner fit and that will probably give you a neater look overall.
Personally I quite like the look of them them but only on certain watches. Your Steinhart is definitely one that suits a Nato. I do agree with Kildareman that black or possibly the black/grey 'bond' option would also look well.
Another one you could try that looks surprisingly great with black-bezel/black dial stainless steel watches is a certain shade of green. Obviously it's an even more casual look than say black. For example (not my pic):

I'm diving today in Tenerife, so it's the citizen jv0000-01e for most of the week. It has depth and elapsed dive time via the hands when under water, there's a red led synced with the beeper that alarms at a pre-programmed depth and time. It's a very useful backup to a dive computer, it also indicates max depth and temperature on the LCD panel.
This one I picked up second hand, its internal capacitor needs to be changed as the solar powered reserve isn't great. Definitely a watch I'm going to keep.

One more, my youngest son picked out a watch from a jewelers here in Tenerife. They had a great selection of Casio's. He picked this 40 mm Casio MTD 1053, for 65 euro from his savings, he liked it that much. It's 200M rated, but I doubt if it's ISO 6425 standard, still a nice first watch.

Picked up the new Seamaster a couple of weeks ago. I was going to buy a Heuer 02 Chrono as I sold my 45mm Heuer 01, but couldn't justify the outlay as I have a habit of flipping watches quite a bit. Seamaster is obviously a completely different watch, but quite nice and no doubt more resaleable than the Tag. I was surprised how small it was as I'm used to wearing larger chronos, I guess it is all about what you are used to wearing.

Gorgeous! Not a huge fan of Daytona’s (or even Rolex these days as the ones I like ...can’t be bought by a mortal for RRP) but that is lovely. Just the right amount of colour!0 -

Another arrival, a 1970s Nappey waterproof diver/rally style handwinder. The reserve on this is far longer than my automatics, there must be a monster mainspring in it. It's a chromed brass body.
I'm liking that.
I've been tempted by a few Nappey diver pieces recently. But currently waiting on the return of my Master Mariner Chrono after a light restoration.
Can't wait.0 -

Me. Just now, well within the hour ago, looking again at NJB's Nappey and liking it. I love the 70's stuff, particularly the non "big name" fancy stuff. Reminds me of my earliest days looking at watches in shop windows on holidays in Spain and France with my parents. My first watch was a Mortima "Diver". I bloody loved that watch.
This is my warm weather watch, though these days... And my "I'm off on the rip tonight" and holiday as per the other thread watch. Tiny so doesn't attract dodgy attention and can take a clatter and the odd splash of water.Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

That's a bloody cracker of a watch L. *envious*
Thanks, mate.
It is a bit of a find, but thankfully my tame horologist reports the mechanism was all good, just a wee bit dirty.
He managed to keep it all with appropriate parts, as even the case was a common item, so it need a new winder but they were easily had. He even managed to reseal it properly with new tubes for the pushers.
Just waiting on it to be posted back now.
Managed to find one or two other interesting bits for him to have a look at too. A 50s Glycine military style manual, and a 40s era GMT precursor with a sort of triple date thing.
Will post on progress.0 -
