Would a 16mm band appear okay between 17mm lugs? Not many vintage 17mm bands to choose from. |

Nothing makes me crazier than a seller selling a watch that didn't spend the time to fit the correct size strap. Too small or cut to fit just shows a lack of overall care in what you're wearing imho. I've found that often a vintage 18mm strap has shrunk over the years to work perfectly on a 17mm application. |

17s are hard to find, what material/color are you looking for, Rick ? 16s are a bad choice, "vintage" croc 18s might work |

Matte Light brown or matte honey with white stitching. Any help would be appreciated. I bought this alligator on ebay. It might work but it doesn't have white stitching. http://www.ebay.com/itm/17mm-Natural-Ma ... _508wt_932 |

Surely custom-made has got to be the option? (I agree that straps that are too small look awful). |
