I am preparing to go on a two week business trip to Houston, TX which will involve a lot of being in the heat of an open warehouse getting IT infrastructure installed. I'm concerned the heat will make the metal bracelet on my 3222.80.00 uncomfortable, as my wrists tend to swell a bit when it gets hot. I wear it pretty loose, but prolonged exposure to hell will probably irritate after some time. I'm looking at NATO straps as a possible option, but I'm not sure what a solid "everyday" color or color combo would look good with my blue face speedy. Thoughts or recommendations?

 

I like these two options for it. The dark grey with the darker blue gives a nice look.

I've tried a NATO a number of times in the summer heat of North Carolina, Florida and Pennsylvania. Always black. While I like the look I just can't get get comfortable with it in the heat. I've stopped trying and wear the bracelet in the heat and reserve the NATO for cooler weather. On course, none of this is written in stone. Play around with it. Straps are cheap. Try this, try that.

NATO straps are $6 to $8. Buy a bunch and decide later

 

Pink is good.



Or, if you want some blue to match the dial and bezel there are lots of choices.

 

That 2nd strap posted by lustrousaurus would look great imo.

 

I have a pink avatar for BCA day.

 

as long as it doesn't make him look fat.

 

Go cheap nato first. While Omega are much higher quality better to spend 15$ then 120+ to see if you like it.

Or go blushark for higher quality at 25-35$.

WatchGecko has lots of low-priced options.

 

Thanks for the responses! I sure like that blue one with the grey trim on the outside. Out here in the Bay we don't get a lot of hot weather, and even less humidity, so I'm curious how the bracelet will actually hold up in those conditions. I want to be comfortable for sure. The tricky bit I've been dealing with looking at NATO straps is finding 19mm. Amazon has a limited selection of cheap NATO at that size, and none of those cool color options. I'll try some of the recommended sites as well! I wasn't sure if, because of the particular kind of face, a NATO would make the watch look odd or not. It has texture and isn't solid.

 

20’s work with curved springbars. You can get them for free or nominal cost from any OB.

 

I did not know that! Thank you!!!

 

So, would you guys recommend grabbing some off of Amazon, or making what would be a solid two hour drive for me to the nearest boutique?

 

Technically works better as you can put a 20mm on a 19 it just bunches a bit.

Here is a 22m on a 20mm with straight bars.

 

Sorry for the diversion ( i think OP has already got enough pointers ).
Any idea where can I get 2 piece nylon straps in 26mm size? Coz of the size, i have failed to get one from the sellers, sites that are mentioned here in past.

 

Tool watch. Black or navy blue would be fine.

 

Quite partial to the black w. Grey on mine.

 

Search for nylon Panerai straps. A lot of the 47mm PAMs have 26mm lugs. At least mine do
