Correct strap width for GMT Master II ceramic?

Hi folks. Could anyone tell me off hand what the correct dimensions (strip width) would be for a GMT Master II Ceramic? Thinking bout getting either a rubber or NATO strap to reduce wear and tear of my 2 tone bracelet.

Also, Is it a standard size for all the sports model Rolexes? I'm thinking bout getting a stainless steel GMT Master II...

I asked Jocke the same thing, and he told me that it was 20mm

Edit: Can I find a tutorial or something like that where they show how to change bracelet to NATO Strap?

Exactly... the same standard size across most of the Rolex Professional line; Rolex does not call it a Sport line... (The DSSD is 21mm as is the YM II).

But they all have the same clasp size of ~16mm.

All you got to do is get a tape measure and measure between lugs a very simple task but its 20mm.

As all above said, 20mm but as much as I love nato's they look like caca on the 116710.
Go for a nice padded croc if you want a strap for it.

question-do Rolex dealers sell nice Rolex-produced leather/croc strps?

Hi again. Would a Rolex AD sell me a black Rolex leather/croc strap to put on my GMT Master IIc? Looking for black. Or, is there a creative way to get my own croc/leather strap and have the nice little Rolex end clasp on? Any idea on pricing too?

No, an AD will only sell you what was supposed to be on the watch

How about an alligator Hirsch Leonardo?

I love how the curved ends match the case!

This one looks good too, IMO:
