·Anyone? I was curious as to how the actual OEM Nato strap fits. Do you find it makes the watch just too tall? It is already pretty proud on the wrist.
Does anyone wear a Planet Ocean 43.5 on a Nato?

·Yes I do sometimes. Height and size was never a issue for me.
Now I normally keep it on the bracelet since I got my Seamaster 300 master co-axial, which I always keep on a nato all the time now.

·Mine is 39.5mm but I gave 6.25” wrists. Not an OEM NATO though, Crowne & Buckles single strap sits a bit more flat on the wrist.
Nice, I find the OEM quite thick on the 8500 PO. Yours looks good, better than what I see on their site, which one is that?
I have been wearing mine on the OEM NATO since they day i bought it. It is taller on the wrist with the NATO but i personally got used to it after a few weeks. I am waiting to be surprised when i put it back on the bracelet soon...
That also looks good, that's the one that's backed with leather isn't it?

I've been toying with the option of buying the single strap from Crown & Buckle. Do you find it to be more wearable? I guess half the nylon thickness means it probably hugs the wrist a lot nicer. I've got a Bond one added to my basket for my SMPc black...

·Can’t vouch for the 43.5mm, but the OEM NATO on my 42mm 2500 gives about three mils of extra height
I find NATO straps to be pretty comfortable, so I tend not to notice any height gain
Have a good one

Yes I find it very wearable, the single strap option makes the watch flush on my wrist.

Thank you, I just assumed that was a standard, didn't realise it was single strap. And the colouring looks far better in your pics than theirs. Really like that on your PO.
Yes i decided to go with this mainly because of the nylon keepers.
I have the SPECTRE OEM and a plain black OEM NATO, the material is a world apart, I think the one you have is probably not as common anywhere because it hasn't got Omega written on the keeper, but they look a lot more comfortable which is why I think it may be my next purchase

I had the plain blue nylon OEM on my SMP and loved it. But sometimes one of the metal keepers would bother me. So i chose this one with the nylon keepers and its perfect. Maybe i don't have the OMEGA logo on the keepers but its still on the buckle.

I definitely need to try that one. Did you wear the navy blue with the black PO, how does that look?

·I've got a few extra NATOs around, I could swap the PO bracelet out, but I like the brushed bracelet so much the swap is not likely to happen.

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...I can’t imagine wearing a nato on anything other then the 2500 42mm. Even then it’s tricky.
Personally I think leave the PO on its amazing bracelet. Or if you have an orange bezel go with an orange croc strap and embrace your inner baller.
