Is the Nato strap sacrilege on this Soviet export? (lemmy.ml)

Bought an early production 2209 movement, the movement itself has a 20nm gold plate and was at the time known as an ultra slim movement measuring just under 3ml and competed directly with Swiss watch makers.

As a side note, I have not seen this dial variant and have to say, its aged beautifully with a deep purple patina pushing through the midnight blue and the added sunbeam effect gives it a stunning oil slick visual.

I'm pretty sure I like nato straps on any watch. Not only because they look cool but also because I like the way they keep the back of the watch from sticking to my wrist when I get a little sweaty.

Thats solid reasoning.

I've also found out the strap gets my sweat on it and smells stinky
