This is not a philosophical question.

I GIMPed the image you see here to help describe what I'm looking for. You know how the rubber strap that comes with a Duro "flanges" out width-wise just past the lugs? Well, does a steel version of that exist? -a curved-end bracelet with a lug width of 22mm, but just past the lugs, it would immediately flange out to 28mm or so?

I realize I could make one, but only if I could find a 22mm and a 28mm bracelet that match finishes, whose center links were the exact same size, which might be really tough.

I got this Duro bracelet from Ali Express. It fit perfectly and totally changed the look of the watch.

Here is another image I made in GIMP. This might explain better what I'm looking for. Right beyond the lugs, the bracelet would get wider, just like the stock rubber strap for the 106. The watch pictured isn't a Duro, but pay no attention to that.

So it ends up having an “integrated bracelet” effect. I don’t have an answer, but I have a Duro and I’d love to see some recommendations if they’re out there.

Exactly! I should have thought of that descriptor.

I’ve not seen any steel bracelets with a 6mm offset. You can find bracelets where the end links “expand” that can be used on a range of lug widths, but I don’t think I have ever seen one that fits a 22mm lug width. And it certainly wouldn’t have an extra 3mm on each side.

Island Watch sells a bracelet fitted for the Duro.
