Steve G Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 Does anyone know what strap size to look for on this watch. I have one on the way, and I'm sure the rep strap will get old quick. Wanted to shop ahead. So what size should I be looking for, any website suggestions would also be helpful. Thanks much
Steve G Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Posted February 9, 2007 May have answered my own question with a little research I found 22mm? Anybody concur with this?
t Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 May have answered my own question with a little research I found 22mm? Anybody concur with this? yes 22mm... but genuine has 21mm.
Steve G Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Posted February 9, 2007 yes 22mm... but genuine has 21mm. Would 21mm work or does it leave too large a gap on the rep?
olivia Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 You will need a 22/18 strap if you want to use the buckle that comes with the watch. If you find a 22/18 strap, let us all know!!!

If you find a 22/18 strap, let us all know!!! what do you mean with "If you find a 22/18 strap, let us all know"??? for money is all possible. I have genuine hand made alligator straps and the cost more as the rep you mean "if you find a CHEAP 22/18 strap, let us all know" But prices for genuine alligator straps beginns at $60 and good ones cost $100. Amazing alligator straps are much more $$$

After searching several strap web sites I have yet to find a 22/18 listed. Have I searched every possible strap site in the world? No. I have not tried to commission a custom strap 22/18. If you know of a strap site that shows a 22/18 point it out. I don't think they are easy to find, but...hey, maybe I am wrong.

I have never tried to find that particular strap, but have experienced similar problems with my gen JLC Reverso GT. If you cannot find a standard strap, you can try here http://www.abp-paris.com/abpw/index_en.php They are hand made according to your specifications. They have a very good reputation.

Big words...no action. Ebay is big place, but yes I have searched there. Plenty of 22 mm, but not found one 22/18. Checked strap dealers on RWG.CC, RWG, RWI...no 22/18 listed. But I will keep searching and I will find one sometime, somewhere, some place. Edited February 10, 2007 by olivia

Steve G Posted February 13, 2007 Author Report Posted February 13, 2007 You will need a 22/18 strap if you want to use the buckle that comes with the watch. If you find a 22/18 strap, let us all know!!! So you're saying that a 21/18mm strap won't accomodate the rep buckle? I'm not sure I understand? Isn't 21mm vs. 22mm at the lug?
seagull11 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 After searching several strap web sites I have yet to find a 22/18 listed. Have I searched every possible strap site in the world? Sirtoli (sirtoli.com) do a gator in this size. It looks very nice but is $149. Can anyone vouch for the quality?
Pugwash Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 So you're saying that a 21/18mm strap won't accomodate the rep buckle? I'm not sure I understand? Isn't 21mm vs. 22mm at the lug? Yes. He's saying don't get a 22mm strap unless it's 18mm at the lug.
DuDro Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 Don has both 21mm and 22mm straps. I believe his 22mm straps do taper down to 18mm...Someone else should confirm this since I have not been able to get Don to reply to my emails...
t Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 gen has 21/18 rep has 22/18 i have a genuine 21/18 alligator IWC strap, but it is little to small... looks bad if you can see the pins.
DuDro Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 gen has 21/18 rep has 22/18 i have a genuine 21/18 alligator IWC strap, but it is little to small... looks bad if you can see the pins. I've been looking for a replacement as well, so I think I will be opting for the 22mm width...Thanks for your input on this.
Steve G Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Posted February 14, 2007 so 18mm is the width for the buckle and 22 or 21 for the lugs? I know i'm stupid.
t Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 so 18mm is the width for the buckle and 22 or 21 for the lugs? I know i'm stupid. exact 22mm on watcg lugs side 18mm on buckle side
Steve G Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Posted February 14, 2007 perfectly clear now...thanks much
