...as I'm planning a dive with my Polaris '68, and the only thing stopping me now is the tropical leather strap.

I'm waiting for some NATO straps to arrive and will be putting one on and planning the dive with a little more precision. I think I'll end up taking the watch down in a pouch and then strapping it on. Doing it all on shore or boat will probably result in scratches all over the crystal, what with tanks, hoses, BCD buckles etc.

Hope the photos turn out good!!

That is a lovely watch. I've never tried a leather NATO, is there a reason (comfort?) behind installing it buckle downwards?

Comfort it is!

The Polaris is indeed made for that! To have a life, a Diving, active life. And it doesn't matter if the plexy is not too deeply scratched, you can polish it. As for the straps, I'm working on it. Maybe at the end of this month, I will have something to s... 

Yes but,

I think that the way I treat my regular dive watch, being my Submariner, the plexi won't survive one morning's dive, not to mention the dings on the case when I'm setting up gear and moving around tanks, hoses, regulators etc.

Well, JWF

I must confess I'm not a big fan of this type of strap. Fr.Xavier
