How to: Measure lug width / strap width to determine what width of strap to order.

[@auralwiz]

Thank you. 5 years ago I paid over $400 to replace the rubber (only the rubber) wrist strap on a RW 8300.

Thanks Michael!

Thank you for great explanation 👍🏻

[@Thestrapsmith]

My pleasure. Glad you found it helpful. All the best.

[@butterfliwings]

Thanks, that was very helpful.

[@philipripley2959]

Thanks feel I can order with confidence

[@Pterocarpous]

Thank you!

[@CarlosAguila]

Also just by reading the inside of the strap being replaced it has a good chance it will already say 16, 18, 20, 22, 24mm...,

Hi. Can we use your video on Amazon India with our products..?

What is the difference between 20x16 mm, 20x18 mm?

[@stuartbrown25]

I have a question regarding lug size, I came across two watches and one said 22mm lugs,then another said 44mm lug to lug. im wondering if they are adding both lug sizes together as i'm just not sure.....

[@robmontana4971]

stuart brown I would guess that the watch case is actually 44 mm and that the lug width is 22 mm. I haven’t yet come across a watch that had a lug width of 44 mm - inside edge to inside edge.

[@stuartbrown25]

@@robmontana4971 yeah i Was thinkin this my self but thought I'd mention this. Tjank you Robert...

[@ninodesecond3385]

Thanks

[@GatoDeHeisenberg]

In the first watch with 22mm lug width, could you potentially use a 20mm strap instead?

[@Thestrapsmith]

Yes, you could if you are okay with a gap showing slightly.

[@dougest6578]

What about curved vs straight bands,

[@llamacebu216]

Did you make Casey's neistat LV band for his apple watch? If so, how much per say would one of those cost?

[@Thestrapsmith]

Ben Dover Hi Ben, Yes I did. If you check out this link it'll take you to the LV straps where the prices are listed. Thanks!

Will a 22mm strap work on a 22mm lug width

[@ChrisDan94_]

I have a Casio diver. It says it’s a 22 online. If I bought a 20 NATO strap would that not fit well or look good?
I found a rare Goldfinger Bond NATO, it’s only available in 20.

[@Thestrapsmith]

Hi, you will certainly be able to use a 20mm NATO strap on a watch with 22mm lugs but it'll have a gap for sure.

When you say a gap, what do you mean?

Hi Gio, I don't have any buckles with the GUcci logo, sorry

[@DLP11111]

can you please tell me how to measure the glass size... its broken now

[@Thestrapsmith]

Hi, the best bet would be to take it to a jeweler to have him remove the glass to get an accurate measurement or send it to the manufacture.

[@Thestrapsmith]

Hi Fen Mujnik - Yes, a 22mm strap will fit into a 21mm lug. Would be happy to make a strap for you! Check out www.thestrapsmith.com/watch_straps to find something you like.

Noice I was trying to find the right size of watch band for my favorite watch I wore it so much that I wore through the leather.

[@mujnikkoncino]

Just curious if a 22mm leather strap can fit into a 21mm lug width slot.?

[@Thestrapsmith]

Hi Fen, yes most often you can pinch a 22mm strap down into 21mm lugs. Thank you.

Hi I have a bubble guess watch and I am trying to do the measurement for a replacement strap.
What is a lug regarding measurement?

[@dacanko9724]

hiya all, what about caoutchouc strap? Will 22 mm fit 21 mm lug without any problem?

[@Thestrapsmith]

Hi David, generally yes you can pinch a 22mm strap into 21mm lugs. Quite a few guys do this. Thanks!

[@anitamohite2868]

can i use 18 mm strap on a 19mm lug?

[@miraz5597]

You can, but I personally don't like the empty space. even if it's 1mm. I had a watch and it's belt was 21mm. When I changed it I used 22mm.

[@testchannelone6616]

beats me how anyone could even see a 1mm gap.

[@phototristan]

It's much better (and easier) to use digital calipers.

[@Thestrapsmith]

Very true!

[@nextron5699]

Great Idea, I should buy a digital caliper to check the strap size of my 50$ watch.
Some idiot said why not just check the internet and find your watch specifications, that moron!

[@xrynmchyle7395]

your ruler says cm means centimeter

[@miraz5597]

It says 1cm. 10mm = 1cm. smaller lines are 'mm'.
