I've run into this myself!:D I have that Locman 1970 that came with a 23mm Lorica which I hate and have yet to find a decent strap that fits without some major surgery!!and finally picked up a 24mm Invicta Ostrich from Avery w/the quick change pins...removed the quick pins and it fit perfect when no other 22/24mm would fit!hand6.gif I guess some strap manufacturers are more generous than others:P:P I like my straps to fit "snug at the lug"  just like you do !snoopy1.gif Good suggestion Oscar.  Funny thing is, I put another "20mm" strap on the Archimede and it fit perfectly! :shock:

I have noticed differences in only that some watches lug widths are 19mm and 21mm and not a true 20mm:?
....my old Archimedes was 21mm and a 22mm strap fit nicelyhand6.gif I use a digi-caliper to measure all widths now before ordering...I have found most of the German manufacturers use the odd size lugs..19,21,23mm..which straps are not readily availablewatch2.gif
