beanyboy Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I have what I hope is a scathingly brilliant idea to turn a fairly cruddy Big Pilot rep ($60 plus shipping from Silix) into a very nice watch. Part of my plan includes changing out the brown leather strap to something really cool. (I will post pictures of the project soon). Anyway, I want to get a head start on purchasing the new strap, and I asked Angel & Jay to provide the lug width for the strap on the rep I bought. Haven't heard back yet, and may never. I am assuming it's wither a 22mm or 24mm width, but I don't want to goof this up. Can anybody help me out here. For help I am attaching a picture of the pilot rep. Thanks!

I figured it to be 22mm, but I didn't want to purchase a band until I knew for sure. Beany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TmeShare Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) For sure it is 22mm at the case and 18mm at the buckle end. I have a real IWC strap and that is the measurement. If you are looking for a reasonable priced Big pilot like strap try www.strapluxe.com I bought a few from them and for the price they are very well constructed (better than the real IWC).
