Help with a JLC.....

Guys I have a JLC Master Calendar, it's the previous model with the power reserve indicator. I need to replace the strap, I've just ordered a 21mm OEM curved end alligator from a grey dealer and now I'm second guessing myself about the lug width. Are they 21 or 20mm? Anyone know for sure???

Have been looking around online for a new strap (20mm).

A couple of friends actually said to me that I need to be mindful, because the JLC has curved lug pins, and therefore not all 20mm lug width straps are suitable for the watch.

Is this true? Would a normal 'straight' 20mm strap 'crease' in the middle if I were to use it for the watch? And even if it works, that I need to get a 21mm or 22mm strap because of the curve?
Or is this just all hogwash?

On the same note, any recommendation for JLC-compatible strap maker/seller?

Thanks in advance!

If you’ve ordered an official JLC strap, then your second guessing is pointless – it’ll fit the watch irrespective of who posted it, since the strap comes from the same place!
It doesn’t matter that the grey dealer bought it from an AD, who ordered it from JLC or already had it in stock – an OEM strap is still an OEM strap.
So long as the correct one for the model was ordered/supplied, you’ve nothing to be concerned about.
