Lee's Watch Thread for MM'ers of Impeccable Taste

[SlimKlim]

So took the digital caliper to the watch and it measures as a 22.7mm band, so unless all 23mm bands measure slightly smaller a true 23mm wont work. Looks like ill either have to stick with bands from Nixon, or just deal with a .35mm gap on each side of a 22mm band.

I think I am gonna order a 22mm NATO on Clock Work Synergy, and see how it looks and then figure out a metal bracelet.

Is that a measurement of the width between the lugs or the width of the band? If it's the measurement of the band make sure it's right up where it meets the lug because most bands get slightly more narrow as they go towards the back of the wrist. 0.3mm could also just be the tolerance you get to work with when fitting the band, the endlinks of the strapcode bracelet on my diver are very snug but you can still wiggle the end link between the lugs ever so slightly, if there was no play you'd never be able to install it.

That '66 Seiko I restored has a width between the lugs of 18.9mm, I have a tan 18mm strap and while you can see the spring pins on either side it's not terribly noticeable, I can also squeeze a leather 19mm on there without tearing up the corners of the band if I slip it in there just right.
