Replacement strap for hooded lugs

SchroedingersWatch

Hi All,

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. So I bought a watch with hooded lugs. The lug width is 16mm, but it flares out to 18mm when looking at the watch from the dial side. Anyone know of a place that sells straps that would flare out a little? Or would I be stuck with a relatively thin 16mm strap?

Thanks!

Curved springbars, and then buy an 18mm strap, then use a sharp tool to notch where the watch head will be. Mount the watch and enjoy! 🤘🏻🤙🏻

Also look at Forstner. I finally have my Komfit in bound for my Timex Q GMT and will be posting pics when it's mounted.

Damasko watches have a lot of models that come on a strap that flares out after the lug, find out who makes those, might be tough to find 16mm though... You might end up having to cut a strap with flush cutters and modify it to fit

Any rubberstrap, a razor blade and a stay hand will do wonders 😊
