Mm?
Would a 20mm strap work for a 19mm oyster Perpetual? I have the 34 mm OP and there are many more options for the 20 mm size

You can probably squeeze it into the lugs, just make sure you use the original spring bars.

I apologize about the subject line....non-sequitur. I just want to see if anyone has a nato strap on an OP. I purchased a Hadley Roma green canvas/leather band. It rubs against the case of the Rolex.

Why not buy the proper strap?

You could try squeezing it in, but depending on the strap, it could look like crap.

Mm?
Think I am good enough at math for this... putting a 20mm strap on 19mm lugs will not work out. I say go for 22mm strap (though I haven’t been able to work the numbers out yet).

If you are trying to squeeze 20mm Nato into 19mm, that would work. Ive done it with my 38.5mm omega aqua terra.

I dont think you can fit 20mm leather band though.

Fitting a 20mm strap on a 20mm Rolex lug is difficult.

Fitting a 20mm strap on a 19mm OP?

Just get a new username and practice more descriptive subject lines and folks will accept you with loving arms around this awesome community of enthusiasts and disgruntled waitlist participants. Hopefully some of the smarter guys answered your questions by now.

I'm not sure it would work. Buy the right size strap for your watch, right? There must be a strap out there you like that's 19mm.

As long as the strap isn't too thick it will fit (and look) just fine.

It'll be a tight fit. Just don't get too stiff a material.
