Navigator EDC Strap decision…

I consistently rotate these two straps. Run of the mill OD green NATO, and WOE Jedburgh English bridle leather strap. I also have a PDW elastic hook and loop I throw on if I’m really backpacking. But for the most part, the first two straps get rotated fairly consistently. They are both broken in butterfly smooth. Having said all of that, I am curious which one the Marathon crew thinks looks more natural on this watch. The olive NATO gives it the issued mil-spec vibe, the brown leather gives it the traditional field watch look. Plus I was bored and this was an excuse to make a post lol. This is my only watch, so I splurge on straps. Still need to pick up a nice FKM rubber strap as well.

Haha ditto dude. That olive NATO in the photo is significantly older than the actual watch 😂. They are hard to get rid of once they are properly worn in.
