Nato Straps are perfect for me, because i get allergic reactions to the metal bottoms of watches. With Nato straps i got a protective layer inbetween. This is my everyday watch right now.
Recently got my late grandmother’s “gold” F-91Ws and decided to try on a NATO/Zulu strap since I have also been interested lately with how they look. After looking online for inspiration, I decided on looking for something brown since I think it should pair well with gold. I also looked into modding involving changing the strap width and I tried using a 20mm strap which meant also buying an 18mm-to-20mm adapter.
Things I had to note:
- I’m not liking how the adapters just stand up when trying to tighten my strap. Is it just my wrist shape/thickness?
- Sadly the adapters couldn’t exactly match the case since it’s shiny. Atleast it matches the loops on the strap
After wearing it, the look of it feels weird for me for some reason and so I’d like to get everyone’s thoughts on what I created. Did I do something wrong? Would it be better to stay at 18mm instead?

Apologies for the fake pics. I just wanted to quickly model different combinations.
Which color watch do you think goes best with this band?
Idk what this means. What is this subreddit?
