  • 47mm luminor - 26/22mm or 26/26mm width for aftermarket strap?

    Thinking of getting an aftermarket strap for my 422, should I go for 26/22mm or 26/26mm?
    Going for casual, non-rugged look. Thanks.

    Personally, prefers 26/ 26mm.
    All my aftermarket straps are custom made in parallel width...

        seems like 26/26mm are more common.
        PAM buckle very ex. If i go for 26/26mm, will need to get new buckle also.

          Exactly. I feel the tapered style more suitable for rads rather than luminors. Go for the 26/26
          elusive

            26/26mm will look better as 47mm is a huge watch . 22mm buckle will look funny imo .

              Agree that 26/26 is the way to go for a 47mm Luminor.

              But it is your watch, whatever floats your boat!

                  I have a 26/26 strap on my Sub as you can see:





                  And I do have a 26/24 strap:



                  You can see the tapering of the strap from 26mm to 24mm.

                  Any more tapering, in my opinion, won't look so nice. With a big watch, you need a big buckle too!

                      Yes... the buckle is huge! I was surprised too but it matches well with the 47mm Sub.

                        I do a 26/24. You may need to try out before decide. For me 26mm buckle is too big, it should not bigger than the watch.

                        Just my own preference.

                          Hey Elton. Thanks. I went for a 26/24mm with a slim buckle. Feels very comfortable on my wrist.

                              Personally prefer tapered leather strap for my skinny wrist.
