Back in March, I got a Day-Date as a 30th birthday present to myself. I only bought the watch head as I didn’t want to pay for the gold bracelet as I wasn’t sure I was ever going to wear it like that. As a result, I’ve decided to wear it on a NATO strap, for a least the time being.
So I’ve got two NATO straps, a green one and a navy blue one, both with gold plated hardware, to match the watch.
Here it is with the green NATO:
Here it is with the blue NATO:
Other than these two, does anyone have any recommendations for NATO straps with gold hardware?
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , but I’m not sure I’m going to wear it with my day-date due to the lack of gold accents. Might wear it with another one of my watches though.

Rowing Blazers is a fantastic company, I frequently buy stuff from them and they’re always super engaging/helpful, and all around a great company to do business with. They have a huge variety of NATO straps, and I really can’t recommend them enough.

I like quite a few of them, unfortunately it looks like they don’t have a gold hardware option.

Crown & Buckle is my go-to NATO source. They have gold hardware options.

I wanted for some time to try a “Marine Na tionale” kind of strap which are elastic straps originally based on old parachutes straps.
The “real deal” are those from MN Straps :

There are also some Chinese versions on Aliexpress which are looking quite good for the price like
this one
which has models with gold buckles and m
any good review with pictures :

Have also wanted to give a try for a tight-fabric NATO (more like a car seatbelt or the Omega NATO) like this one (which unfortunately is not available with a gold buckle) :

The Tag I got for graduation has a white dial, and I think I’ve had an affinity for white dials since. I did specifically seek out that Day-Date, and it’s the exact dial I wanted.
Those are some good suggestions and I’ll look into them, thanks.
