Snowflake Strap?
Hello everyone. I recently acquired a Snowflake from DavidSW. The watch is fantastic though I am not in love with the band. I have tried several straps on the watch (including mugatoo) and while the mugatoo is “fitted” I don’t love the way it looks. Has anyone found a croc strap with a bit of extra padding around the pin holes that fits the Snowflake? The pin hole placement on the lugs causes most straps I’ve tried to sit too far away from the body of the watch.....

That's always an issue with that gap, even with the thickest of straps which just make the strap taller and not closer to the case. I think it all has to do with the lug hole placement which you can't change. You may have to contact a custom strap maker and speak with them to let them know what your issue is and exactly what looking for. Some high res photos of the case, lugs, lug holes, and a measurement in mm from the lug holes to the case and maybe they can hand make something to fit that gap. Sort of like an Everest Band or Crafter Blue strap but not curved to fit the contour of the case, rather just closer to the case to fill that gap.
But I know what you mean.

The nature of the square end strap....you’re only going to get so close.

If u cant stand the gap, a strao with curved spring bars visually help as it makes the gap look parallel
