I owned two leather straps for my CE... One was black and was the "standard" size and the other was brown and was the extra large size.( Long story short George accidentally gave me the larger one)... Now, the larger one fits me great and I like the way it tucks into the leather slips vs the smaller one that barely made it with my 7.5" wrist.

So here's my question... Since the standard size strap felt small on my wrist with my CE...would the standard size strap fit larger with my World since technically the watch is larger? Or, Should I stick with the larger strap.

I plan on buying new 24mm wide straps for my World but didn't know what size would suit my needs best.

the stock strap is shorter on the bigger watches than the smaller ones, by about 10mm. so if the long fist you better on the smaller watch, get long on the world.

Really? I thought that all straps were a set size, no matter what watch you bought.

Nope, There is regular and and extra large.

I just didn't know if the regular on a CE would fit the same as a regular on a World.

I think maybe he means that a regular/long will always have the same measurements as another regular/long, regardless of which model it comes on. Thats actually what I thought as well, but apparently im wrong.
