18, 20 or 22mm?

I've got a sea dweller but its in having a service at the moment. Does anyone know what size I would need? Cheers
For your sea dweller it would be 20mm but if you want the deliberate gap like mine (and James Bonds!) then go 18mm.

Your Deepsea has 21mm lugs so you could either go 20mm with a tiny gap or try to cram a 22mm in there. IMO the Deepsea doesn't look great on a NATO due to the thickness but whatever floats your boat. The SD would look great!

That's great cheers. I'm going to try it on the sea-dweller not the Deepsea!

Thanks again for the advice.

No trouble at all. My sub also has 20mm lugs and, for all I went for 18mm for the true bond look, all my other NATOs are 20mm so fit snugly lug to lug. With a heavier watch like your SD I'd say go 20mm since the head does move a little on the 18 so 20mm would be a lot more practical for you. (18 looks kinda cool though!)

No reason why not... It's a damn sight more tactical than an oyster bracelet!

I am looking to also change over the Sub C to a NATO strap. One question I have is about the springbars. Do you guys use the original springbars (if you can) or do you buy a separate set to use with the nylon (if so, where is best place to get these).

Thanks,
