Gary, boy oh boy, this Makara is mega cool ! The case and bezel could not be any nicer, as it’s somehow really unique, yet understated. And the dial, case-back, NATO, and name are awesome !!!

Hey Tom, I put on a regular strap as I felt the NATO strap was just too stiff (part of being 24mm). In real life this black strap looks charcoal gray, due to the deep black of the watch. Do you think it looks OK on this, or should I try a matt brown strap I have (same maker/same material and white stitching, just a different color), or do I look for a softer NATO?

Ooh neat Gary, it looks fantastic ! Honestly, I think it looks terrific on this black strap you just put it on. But, guess what? ..I also like it on the NATO, AND also think it would look great on that brown strap too of course. ..As usual, it’s nearly always impossible to choose favorites, as everything literally always looks nice to me.
I say follow your heart, as you can’t go wrong that way. Can’t thank you enough for sharing, and asking sir !!!
