Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Watch

Less people know their retro styled watches. One such example is the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date watch.

Best Nato without excess fold on side
Hello group! I was wondering if yall could help me regarding a nato strap for my SubC. I am about to deploy (again) with the Army and decided to bring a sub with me on the trip. I am hoping to pick up some nato straps similar to the bond nato, except in 20mm. However, the issue I am having is the excess strap material that folds over on the side. Are there any nato straps you would recommend that will secure my sub without the bulky fold over?I appreciate the help!Rangers Lead the Way!
