These Chopard Grand Prix de Monaco Historique 2016 watches look good on the NATO straps
I've never liked the look of these leather straps with the big holes punched out though, so my choice would be for the NATO versions. Cheers, Anthony

Having missed GPMH 2016, did you go to any other Chopard-sponsored racing event?
Let's say...in Italy last weekend? MTF
Let's say it was fantastic...
