Seems a shame to scratch up a nice back like that. Perhaps you are going to put a sticky pad on to protect it?
Case back stickers are cheap on eBay and would be worth buying for protection before using a NATO style strap. https://www.ebay.com/itm/192040126752Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
Apologies if this is a dumb question but where did you get that specific mn strap? It's seriously good looking EDIT: Is it erika's?
Yeah the marine Nationale straps are like that. I have a yellow and red piped one that i picked up from MWR but the black one looks beautiful haha
@shishy haha TIL thanks, I guess I've always seen the Tudor MN straps and thought the color scheme = Marine Nationale. Guess not a lot of people take a picture of the clasp side.
it's a little terrifying tho cus i imagine a good pickpocket could snatch it off easily but with that said, they're sooo comfortable
i've been wearing natos/nylon straps for almost 20 years and never had the type of damage as on those mil watches. i think it just depends where/how you wear a nato. so no pads necessary for me but if you're concerned about it, feel free to use them.
