    Come on Roberto! :-) You know the NATO strap is Admiralty Grey. The bluish tint is due to chromatic distortion.

    Fabulous watches. But those pastel straps are, well, really??? I know you, above all else, prize authenticity.

    Also, when I saw your title I thought you were referencing the US Navy Seals --but that's Jaeger LeCoultre domain. So then I thought you meant these guys:

    :-)
    The actual colors of those straps are not as bad as they look in the image. The strap on the RAF Mark 11, which appears light blue, is actually very close to the Admiralty Grey prescribed by the MoD. The Bonclip bracelet below is usualy on this watch, but I removed beacuse it is not really comfortable.
    I accept, however, that the Army Green strap on the W.W.W. has no bearing on reality.
    The IWC leather strap below will eventually go to the SAAF Mark 11, and the black NATO strap will replace the Army Green on the W.W.W.. The original leather strap of the W.W.W. is too fragile, and short, to be used.

    Well, dispair not. If I can turn Admiralty Grey into Baby Blue and Army Green in Pastel Green, changing Black into Blue will be a cinch. :-)

    You are a magician finding these rare beauties. Maybe you can get LAN to a blue dial B-Uhr.
