My 42mm Khaki arrived in the post today. I love the look of it but it will take me a while to get used to the sheer size of it - it's quite tick as well as big.

Anyway, along similar lines....

I put a new strap on it but I think the gap between the case and the strap looks too big. The strap's about 4.75mm thick at the lugs which I thought was going to be OK, but I think I'll need something thicker. How thick is the strap you've got on yours, Ken? Maybe I need something like one of these on it instead:

Excuse the poor photo taken on my mobile, but you'll get the idea of the big gap. Just doesn't look too good, IMO.

"Remember that it is not the thickness of the strap that matters, it is the amount of material at the lug end where the pin/tube connects to the lugs."

Fair point - I must be slow on a Friday...!

It's hard to tell from the website which ones might work and which ones won't. I might check out a couple of stores in person and see what I can come up with. Maybe I should have a look at a couple of curved end ones, too.

Thanks again for your help. It's officially (almost) the weekend in the UK, so I'm off to the pub. Have a good one!
