How can I? 😩😫
The strap width of this watch I got is 21 mm. But I can't seem to find a nati strap that matches for this size 😵🤧. All they got are 18,20,22. Idk why. Has anyone ever experienced this type of situation before? Ik there are some companies that make em. But the prices are ridiculous for someone broke like me 😭. My outline budget for a strap is below 6$. 😓.

CNS has ONE 21mm strap currently; a shorty leather.
EDIT: Never mind... https://cnswatchbands.com/collections/21-mm?page=2
Yes, CNS has options for 21 mm straps. However, be aware the quality of the material is not the greatest.
The Bark and Jack straps are expensive, yes but the quality is up there.
It’s always going to be more of a struggle to find a 19 or 21 mm strap. Having said that, I’ve used 20mm straps on a 19mm watch. If the material is souple enough, it works. See below: 20 mm CNS standard Nato (“the seamaster”) on my Bronze Superman.
That watch / strap pairing on your post will look great! Buy both 20 and 22, see which one fits best and return the other 🤷♂️.
Depending on which side the size tolerance leans it might actually work ok.
(I sometimes use a 21mm strap on a Longines that has a 22mm lug width, but the strap is a bit fatter and it works)
You can usually wiggle a 22 in those.

Flund a perfect one 😍
Just two bucks
That Nato pictured with the watch is so perfect, I feel your pain. I'd stick a 22mm on it & put up with it, I'm sure it won't look out of place.👍

Ye nice idea 💡. Lol the returning part got me too 🤣. Ty

You can manilulate it at the lugs, tucking it under so to speak. I can't put into words just what I mean but I know I have put a Nato that's slightly bigger than the lug width on a watch & it's looked fine. I'd put a larger Nato on before a smaller one, the smaller shows the gap at one end.
Gonna give a try 😜 thx crunchies

If you’re a perfectionist then it’s probably not a solution. See below;

The gap is really unnoticeable. Do you even feel a budge while wearing with a gap?
