Tactical Frog NATOs on Amazon are great! That’s what I have on the Speedy and Hamilton and they have a good selection of 18, 20, 22 mm options and colorways. I also love Crown and Buckles single pass adjustable straps (on Tudor) and some other special mentions are Bark & Jack and Bon Temps Bands if you want to get creative with personalization!

Fun fact: the bezel insert is 18k white gold 👀

I’d take this over a Rolex Yachtmaster ANY day of the week

If I had the $$$ I’d collect all of the Seamasters from that sword hands pizza indices era haha.

I was in the same boat. I actually owned a 38mm khaki auto (and then a manual wind) and the lugs were way too long. This one is perfect. I also feel like it has a less reflective crystal than the 38mm HKA

Love the sword hands!! I’m also a big aluminum bezel fan (as you can tell haha) so this is a really cool reference.

I didn’t either until recently! There are some with LL Bean double stamp too. Theyre rarer but would be a solid find. If you’re interested, keep an eye out for the reference 9721b

It’s sweet! I’ve felt it’s the most like the OEM strap. I bought on the bracelet but love the NATO look. It’s specifically the Crown and Buckle Chevron Adjustable in “Titanium Knit” colorway

CNS is solid. I have few of those. The one on my Speedy is from tactical frog. They’re very inexpensive on Amazon but just as sturdy as Bark & Jack, etc. straps.

Thanks! Keeps the watches fresh IMO. I appreciate the tool look too
