Mickey used to reside on a 16mm metal expansion bracelet. Looked OK, I guess, but I'm not a big fan of stretch bracelets. And it was just enough too short for my 8-1/8" wrist to make it uncomfortable when worn more than a couple of hours. The only strap I had that would fit was this 18mm Bond NATO, so I squeezed it in:
Mickey on Bond NATO Better. All-day comfortable now, at least. But it just looked wrong. Doh!
Then it ocurred to me that I did have one 16mm strap that would be perfect:
46374G Watch, Wrist, General Purpose Yup! The OEM black nylon strap that came with this Marathon was just what I needed. So I whipped it off and threaded Mickey up:
Mickey on -issue 16mm strap Success! Fits me perfectly, still comfortable as can be, and now it looks right, too.
Only.. what to do about the now strapless ?
A no-brainer! Hey, we are NATO members, so I've got no problem at all with wearing a on a NATO!
Stablemates Now everyone is happy!
