Had to try...
I have to admit, when I saw a post on the interwebs a few months ago about someone wearing his 5960P with a NATO strap, I thought it was rather inspirational... So I had to try it for myself. I hope the original NATO'er considers imitation the highest for...
If it works, I think it works because...
It's interesting you say it "dresses it down" - I never though the 5960P was a dressy watch to begin with! :) My personal opinion is that with the grey dial and colorful sub dial, the grey 5960P is one of the more casual/sporty watches in Patek's lineup.....

What a wonderful set of pics!
Now, I have a go-to reference if I want to see various Nato strap wrist shots. Thanks for sharing!

Looks absolutely fabulous on the world time. Something to copy for next summer! best Edmond
Nice nato strap ... However I prefer the original croco
This piece is very classic and it looks so nice with its original croco strap. Thanks for sharing.
