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 respectfully disagree. I have a similar green strap on my Seagull watch which has blue hands and I think it's a great combo. Different strokes and all that! Do what makes you tick (pun intended)
