Gents, I've decided to put an old TAG (1992 vintage) on a NATO strap to wear as a beater.

The lugs are 20mm across. This may be a stupid question but will a 20mm NATO strap be too wide? I'm not sure if I need a 20 or an 18mm.

Also, do you have any recommended suppliers?

Thanks in advance.

20mm NATO will be fine for 20mm lugs.

I always buy mine from the bay, though can't remember which seller sorry. smile

Cheers gents, I thought a 20 would be fine, I was just concerned it would be a slight interference fit.

I too have bought from Watchgecko (but on eBay) and service has been very good.

I also know some folks who've bought from Timefactors and been very happy with their service smile
