    Did an order through Cheap Nato Straps now called CNS.
    This is not a sponsored post or anything like that. I just wanted to show off some natos on the NTTD and give my thoughts.

    In order of the list above.

    The first set are the adjustable single pass. I prefer single pass anyway and most of these were sold out in the standard nato option.

    This strap was disappointing. Maybe I should give it more time or I just expected more but I'm not a huge fan.

    Really like this one. I'm wearing it now. It works with the watch and gives the overlook a nice feel.

    This was made for Tudor since it's called the black bay but it just works with the NTTD.

    Really I didn't plan on a green or grey but I saw them on social media and thought that I would give the Perlon V2 a shot. I'm impressed. I would buy more colors.

    Bought this as the most wild looking one on the site and I just really like it. Gives a vintage vibe. Also it was pink on the site but very orange in reality.

    This color works really well with the watch. It's ribbed. Some find the ribbed more pleasurable, I don't really feel a difference.

    This was for my speedy but I'm blown away by how great the watch looks on white and how well the strap glows. I can not believe these are not more popular.

    This is an Omega strap as an extra photo. Not bad but not great. The watch doesn't look that great on black.

    There it is, I feel like I rushed the photos so please request any additional.

    Forgot to mention.
    The straps I bought were all 100% worth it. Any of these straps could easily last a life time.
    The lum straps are amazing for what I paid.
    That said a really bummer is the shipping took almost 3 weeks to get to the New York area.

    I do like single pass straps, nice to see these are getting popular as it was a bear to find them just a couple years ago. I do like the textures on these

    There is another site, can't remember who, that does a Tudor like strap and that was a single pass. Around $20-24 and it was totally worth the price.

    I wear all of them at the max so it's pretty much a nato without the under strap. Really nice for a low profile.

    Let me know if you want any extra photos.

    My favorite is the Crown and Buckle “Greige” NATO or single pass. I have both and they are outstanding. They give a similar look to the Milanese bracelet while being considerably more svelte and comfortable.

    That’s the one that sees the most use on my NTTD. I really like it. Great quality and a near-perfect color compliment to the watch.

    Thanks for sharing. You've got some interesting combos. Do you have a favorite?

    I've got a bunch of NATO straps too, it's fun swapping them around to give the watch a different look. But I can't say I like any of them more than the OEM NTTD NATO. And as much as enjoy swapping straps, I end up wearing the Milanese mesh the majority of the time.

    Same I wore the mesh for a while, I'm sure I'll go back to it.
    I really like the orange stripped one. It's unique to that site. There is something special about buying a strap with unique colors that they might stop selling one day.
    The lum strap is really amazing. I'd actually buy more of those.

    In my case, I enjoy this simple look. It's probably my favorite, if not wearing the OEM mesh bracelet or OEM nato.

    Also, I think the classic "Connery" nato works pretty well. Better than I thought it would.

    I’m not sure why single pass NATOs aren’t more popular. That extra loop just looks stupid and bulky IMO.

    Wouldn't it be terrible if people were to spam the eventual sales post with vacuous one liners :whistling:
