Does 24mm near the crown and 19mm at the bottom sound about right? I'm having a strap made and wanted to see what others have done?

What are the Navitimer Strap dimensions 24/20mm?

Are you having a strap insert made (for folding clasp)?? Or a full strap to use with a Tang style buckle?

The heritage has an integrated bracelet, so a strap will be too narrow and look pretty weird.

RJRJ?

How would it be to narrow? It's going to be just as wide as my current 24mm band, just slotted in the middle to fit in the hinges?

I'm just double checking my crappy measurements with others and whats the largest/smallest size to fit in the deployment clasp. :lingsrock:

Because it's an integrated bracelet there wasn't a size released, but it's either 22/20 or 24/20.

The deployant will be a 20mm.

Just make sure that you get all of your measurements right for the 'slots' as well. If I were you I would remove the bracelet and try to make a template for the strap maker.

Ok, got it. I thought you were just going to stick a strap between the lugs. Didnt realize that you wanted to have one that was notched to fit the entire width of the bracelet.

Yeah, they will have the watch/bracelet on hand to use as a template.

I'll post pictures once it's done probably 4-6 weeks

Did you ever receive the strap? Was thinking of doing this for my new heritage and would love to see a pic!

Me, too. Never considered trying to have a band customized for mine.
