NATO to the rescue



I have a fondness for MeisterSingers, and own two of them. My first was this No.1, which I purchased about four years ago. Unfortunately, my interest in wearing it has waned in the last year, and after failed attempts to find a suitable new leather strap in an attempt to recapture the desire to wear it, the penny dropped - what I needed was a NATO.



It's surprisingly dressy in light grey.



Back to the stripes.



For a very minimal outlay, the MeisterSinger love is back, and I learnt that even though a NATO strap might not seem, intuitively, to be a good option for a particular watch, it might just work. Prior to the purchase of these three, I only had one NATO, but I'm beginning to understand why some folks get addicted to them...hmm...now which one should I get next?

Kewpie - thanks! The straps are definitely fiddly when you tuck it back under. I think I need more...

s - That one was the one I was originally going to buy, but somehow I walked out with three...

Nice looking straps there. I'm sporting my Seamaster on a solid red strap today and I think it'd also work well on the MeisterSinger.
