I have a 24mm croc strap that I used a few times on my Navi World. I recently sold the world and bought a navitimer 01 LE. Is there a way to shrink the lug-end width of the strap to 22mm, so that it will be compatible with my 01? I'm open to ideas! |

Unless you fancied cutting a 1mm notch from each side of the strap around the spring-bar holes (which I absolutely DO NOT recommend as it will look awful even if you manage to cut it well), then you're out of luck. Best bet will be to sell the 24mm and buy the right size. |
