Hi Guys, Great forum, frequent reader. Haven't really contributed yet...still building my knowledge...and my collection. I currently have a 20-22mm diver 2 with deployant on my SO SF. I'm looking to upgrade to a Bentley which has 24mm lugs, so I take it I'll need a diver 2, but will I need a new deployant or will my current one fit a 24mm diver 2? Also, will the 22mm diver look terrible on a 24mm lug bentley? Thanks for the advice and help...much appreciated! |

Both 22mm and 24mm lug widths taper to 20mm at the bracelet so you don't need a new deployant. And yes, a 22mm strap on 24mm lugs will look truly awful. |

Gaps between the edge of a bracelet and the lugs just looks terrible IMO. Just take a look at James Bond's Rolex in Dr No - they show a big old close-up of it and the strap is a few mm too narrow for the lugs. It looks awful. |

Great news on the deployant. And...I figured it would look awful...thanks for the help guys. How about the deployant for leather straps? Same or different? |

Different, the one for rubber has a spring bar at each end and the push buttons that you are familiar with. The one for leater has one spring bar and the other end sort of threads through a loop. Get em both
