Thanks Andrew, I must say I always had a problem with the bracelet....
I had it shortened by two links and it was still floating a bit... got one less and it was too tight, the glide lock was not the right solution as it did not feel right half out...
Love the looks and the taylored fit that the many holes offer!
sometimes less is more!
Cheers.

Had to try a black Nato....
on the Deepsea, and I love it.... Bye bye Glide Lock ! sorry too tired for good pictures, the other Nato is for the DLC Daytona to be fitted this weekend starts to look more like the tool it is cheers. Luc...
It looks good, but...
is it comfortable with such a thick and heavy watch ? Cheers Jeff
Can I answer you tomorrow, Jeff? , I just swopped the bracelet for it...
and I will test it at work, will go on the test track to see if it causes me to fly off.... LOL Cheers. Luc
They're not bad...
...for thick heavy watches. It can depend on how pliable the weave is, though. Good choice, Luc, defintely a step-up from the bracelet. If it sits too high, you might consider cutting off the keeper strap off, sits more snugly that way.
Comfort report: no problems...
I was expecting to leave marks due to the thin section of the Nato but... nothing. Comfortable, just comfortable, the moment of inertia that the watch takes while moving fast does not have a pull effect on the wrist. I am delighted and in love with the lo...
The Deep Sea is , IMO, much nicer, Luc.
This is one fo the biggest issue with this Rolex, for me...The Bracelet. I don't like its size, too narrow compared to the body built case. With the Nato, the watch is much more appealing, IMO. Well done, Luc. Enjoy! Best, Nicolas
Complicity, Nicolas,,,,,, you are partly guilty of it....
not one day not trying to imagine it with a Nato since I see all those posts. The glidelock might be technically great but it as you say it converges too much and it makes the watch too " precious " IMHO now need to test it... Thanks Nicolas ! Cheers. Luc
Look forward to your comfort and wearing experience, but ...
... it looks tough, cool and purposeful on the NATO strap, Luc. A good swap to my eyes. Andrew

Nato straps....
i have to say, i am finding the nato strap works really well with a number of Rolex. I tried one on my GMT black & white with a Nato black strap. Looks delicious.
I used the two original spring bars from the original bracelet...
and had the strap sliding between them and the case. I hope I answered your question, Ed. Cheers. Luc
Very interesting....
I think that it looks great.... you could always try a leather nato strap which is a bit heavier and might balance this watch better.... cheers
You have guessed my thoughts, I am looking for a thicker one...
difficult to guess the thickness when you order on internet. Looking for a more sturdy Nato strap to fit the "panzer" deepsea case. Any suggestions on the right supplier are welcome. (by P.M. of course) Cheers. (and thanks for your advice) Luc
