Helpful instructions, take a look.
The ‘lug width’ is simply the internal width measured between the lugs (where the watch strap fits) of the watch.
It’s always best to check this size before you purchase a replacement watch strap, you can then view the correct sizes available for your watch on our website .
Inaccurate readings by just a few millimeters could lead to your strap having a loose fitting or either not fitting at all. It is best to use a pair of calipers (vernier) or a ruler (a tape measure is not advised) and please note it is the internal dimension you need.
You may like to check you watch details on the online database called WatchBase it is a useful website for finding the full details of your watch.
Once you know this size we have a great page that enables you to view all of our watch straps in this size.
Please do contact us if you need some help selecting the correct strap for your watch.
I am looking for a 'Mesh' rose gold watch strap but it does need to be 28mm width to fit my Rotary watch,
I hope you can help.

Hi, thanks for the question.
Unfortunately we don't have any 28mm mesh straps.
But please can you get in touch (quoting your watch model number) via the contact page and we'll try and help you.... https://www.watchgecko.com/contacts/
Hello,
I measured the inner lugs and it’s precisely 20mm. Should I look at 19mm or 20mm straps?
Thanks.
Hi Fred, please go for the 20mm straps as 19mm will be too narrow.
I don't like how narrow my current Tissot strap is (19/18mm) however the outer diameter of the lugs is 24mm. If I ordered a 24mm watch strap would you be able to notch it to fit 19mm lugs, or would I need to find a watchmaker/repairer/jeweller to do this?
Thanks.
Hi Michael, thanks for the message. I'm sorry, we would be unable to modify the strap for you, so you would have to get a local watch repair shop to do this for you. Or an alternative would be for you to try and get a replacement original strap.
Hello
i'm interested by your strap, especially in suede or nubuck leather ; but there are in 120/80 mm length and I need 115/75 mm length. Is it possible ?
Best regards and excuse me for my bad english.
Hi, thanks for the message. Sorry, at the moment we only have the longer length available in the suede range.
Bonjour les pattes intérieures de ma montre mesure exactement 21mm. Dois-je regarder des sangles de 22mm ou 20mm? Merci
We would always advise you to go for the exact size if you can. If you write to our customer service email address with some more details of your watch we would be happy to assist you further.
Hi, my watch has a 22mm lug but I purchased a 20mm mesh strap from you.
Should I have purchased a 22mm?
The 20mm has slight movement but I think if I took the 22mm it might not fit.
Great Strap
It sounds like the 22mm would be the right one. If 22mm is the measurement inside the lugs of your watch then yes, that is the right size to go for.
Hi,
I'm looking for a replacement strap in black leather for my Calibre 8 GMT, I'm not sure of the size required but the strap looks the same as the CARRERA CLASSIC CROC.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Stephen,

The best thing to do is to email us with more info on your watch including the model number and we can look into this further for you.

What grade of steel do you use for the mesh straps? I am looking to buy a nice mesh strap for my Apple Watch and I really like the thicker heavier material. The adapter I have fits a 24mm lug.
Hi, I have a Cat racing watch model R1141 which might be 15 or 20 years old. The plastic strap has finally given up so will need replacing. The inner width is 20mm however for some reason the two small watch repair outlets tell me they can't help as they don't have a contract to supply Cat straps. Is there anything that you could recommend please?
