@Mad Dog and @ChuckMK23....great pics....hahaha!

BTW....quick question....do you notice any wear on the caseback from wearing the NATO? My wife just picked me up a NATO band from the Omega store in Venice and I'm going to swap it out tonight. Just curious if there will be strap wear down the road....thank you!
You'll be fine. Just make sure from time to time you unstrap the nato and clean it, specially if you're around sand etc. If you really want to be super cautious you can either place a little scotch tape or if you have it the original plastic liner for the caseback and then the nato on top of it, but I have used all my watches on NATO's and never have had a wear issue

No wear whatsoever. My Speedy goes from NATO to later and steel bracelet all the time. No issues with wear at all.

Affirm, sir...I do have some minor wear on the caseback from the various NATO bands that I utilize for my Speedy Gonzales Moonwatch.

What do you get when you put a Lemania 5100 into a diver's, Rolex inspired body? A Lorenz! This one is my favorite of all the Lorenz Lemania 5100. They are getting harder to find, grab one while you can!

there are photos on the net of caseback wear on mil watches, probably caused by dirt and debris getting caught between the strap and caseback, and the soldier doesn't clean it out. i've been wearing natos for over 20 years and no wear on my casebacks.
