I never really wanted a nato strap, but I may have to rethink it. It looks really good with that particular watch.

I've never seen this combination before (the solid grey NATO isn't all that common) but it looks VERY sharp. I never would've thought to put it together, but now I want a Speedy so I can put it on the same strap. Nice job!

tell me about it.. my wrist is just 6". I haven't seen ANYONE with a wrist that small. Its hard to find watches that fit me well.

The left sided three are still with me. I found the Volcano fun but too "colourful", the Shaq too big and I had no need for the regatta timer on the Alinghi Polaris.

Excellent choices, although I would have kept the Alinghi instead of the two tone ROO, for a little bit of movement diversity but I understand your decision.
