Not sure if this is the correct forum, if not please move. I have a Chronomat GT with the Pilot bracelet. I would like to put a strap on it. I would like to get a Croc, but not sure if the budget/wife will like that type of purchase. lol

I see on the model page the lugs width is 20mm.

Model a13350

I would like to get either a black or burgandy strap with deployant.

The watch is SS and MOP face.

All used straps I have seen have been 22mm. Am I going to be able to get what i want used or is it going to be a AD special order? If anyone out there has something like I am looking for let me know.

I was also told I need new springbars to use with the strap vs. bracelet.


Thanks in advance.

John

22mm is the most common these days, but there are 20mm available, so by extension I guess they come up resale at times. Most straps are virtually new - there isn't a huge market for huge straps because a lot of people are uncomfortable with the idea of wearing a pre-owned strap for hygiene reasons.

You will need different springbars - strap bars are thicker than bracelet ones.

:yeahthat

or the Bay but watch those fakes.

mind you as 22/20 is the most pop at the moment you will have less 'fakes' to choose from.
