G10 is the NATO style with the extra flap that goes under your watch. The RAF style does not have this and is a normal one-piece strap.
Tried it today needs a 20mm strap though.Well that put me in the mood for some Bond tonight . Must admit I like the sub on a nato strap, might try one on the explorer and see how it looks.
This illuminator has potential for a practical tool watch on a Bond NATO. http://www.argos.co.uk/product/5447613
I like the busier dial than the Casio MDV106-1A Duro.
Yet again I say a big thank you for all the above, really helpful, replies and photos.
I just realised I have FOUR similar or same field style watches ... two identical green face 18mm Pulsars, one similar (but not identical) 18mm black face Pulsar - and one 20mm black face Seiko. None cost a lot but I'm very fond and all keep fabulously good time. The "InTime" franchise in Debenhams have done a couple of repairs /new glasses and are really good, so I'm confident that all the time they're there (never guaranteed these days) then I can keep them all running. I fit my own batteries and sometimes fit a new (lightly greased) gasket and rarely hanker after anything else.
Maybe sometimes the novelty of something Kinetic or Eco-Drive but it would still be the same field style as they're so clear and easy to tell the time by. Maybe this sort of thing ...

I've ordered the two-piece nylons as noted above but will go for a couple of different NATOs just to keep up with the Jones's ( not sure whether RAF or G10 yet) and perhaps a 20mm deployment from TF.
