Odd sized leather or rubber strap - 21mm
« on: February 03, 2016, 01:45:57 PM »
Dear Sirs / Madams,

Do you all know where to get 21mm leather or rubber straps? Prefer not to squeeze in the 22mm or shave them off.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

IWCs range of pilot watches 42mm or over comes with 21mm lugs. And I buy my straps from Rios when I need to change them.
This is their link

I was advised by a friend that you just shove the 22mm into a 21mm lug... Mind sharing why you don't want to do so?
I've personally never tried...

At least a few of my watches with 21mm lug width are currently on 22mm strap. Not a perfect fit but u would barely notice the 1mm difference....

Patrick, sir,

Sorry but I couldn't find any straps with 21mm width on that website you provided. Did they use to sell that size or you used a 22mm strap for your 21mms?

Thanks for the link

My thoughts are that the extra width might put exert extra stress on the lugs or on the spring bar itself cause of that portion squeezed in that's slightly bent. Moreover, it's also the thought of it being not a suitable fit or the creases that might be seen.

Maybe I'm just thinking too much...

Thanks a lot for the website. It does really have lots of odd sized straps there.

Any problems with passing through customs?
