What size band and deployment clasp for BP

I have a Blancpain Flyback which currently has the traditional strap. Looking to get a replacement strap or to upgrade to a deployment clasp. However, I do not know what size band I need (think its 20mm but not sure) or what size deployment clasp. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

You don’t possess a ruler or tape measure?
Your phone prevents outgoing calls to an AD?
You’ve forgotten the special password needed to access Google search?

The Blancpain website details how wide the strap is at the case for whichever Flyback model you have.
As for the deployant, it’ll be a standard width, and since the strap tapers only slightly, then 20 mm,rather than 18 mm.

Wow, PJ S. Take a chill pill. Sometimes it's better to say nothing if you have nothing nice to say. The OP only has a low post count and might still be learning.

5 posts in 3 years, and still learning how to do the basics of self-help?
The point of a forum being of help, is for after having failed to find the answers yourself – not to be used as the first portal of call by the terminally lazy!

If the OP (and others like him) can find their way to this forum and register, then they can also do rudimentary basic research that Google offers, first.

The irony there is that makes you a hypocrite.

PJ S - Again you prove my point. Neuf said.

kdross - From what I see on their website, there are 44 models that include the name "flyback" - can you be more specific on which model you are referring to?

Neuf is French for the number nine – the word you were looking for is ’nuff’.
If you’re going to try to be insulting, at least do it right!

Given you’ve finally noticed the flaw in the OP’s request for help, maybe now you’ll appreciate why I said what I did.
FWIW, only the LéMan are different, the others are all the same width.

I'm pretty sure he typed "nuff" but autocorrect on his phone changed it to "neuf".

There is no need to be mean. Seriously... What's wrong with asking a question?

+1.
That's what I want to say when I saw others asking these kind of question.
For me I never ask these kind of question to the forum when they have time to login and type out on the computer. Basic 101 of owning a watch is alway have some useful tools around.
I'm not mean anything bad but at least you should know all the specification about your lovely piece.
