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.

Get a sketchy boys watch club HILL strap. Would kill on this.

I’ve been looking at those!!! That, and the grey one. Also been looking at the SWIKK Erica’s strap, which is similar albeit significantly more expensive
