    These have inner dimensions of 16 mm. Are these available with 20 mm in inner dimensions? Thanks in advance

    I have never seen vintage buckles for Longines past 18mm, perhaps the modern ones have them

    Which vintage Longines would have had a strap tapering to 20mm, @Andsan? That's massive! Do you have something interesting lined up? :)

    Hello, I have one that I'm going to bid for. The seller says it's 20mm. I've emailed him about the innermost dimensions and he writes that it's 20mm. I've never seen a vintage Longines with inner dimensions of 20mm . But I take the opportunity and make a bid anyway

    I've never seen them larger than 18mm, and only a couple times at that size. I wasn't even sure those were authentic to be honest. Mostly, that style came in 16mm or 14mm, with either the pebble grain background or ribbed background.

    It's gotta be one of their chronographs.

    Or maybe from a Nautilus diver?

    I won the bidding so at the end of the week I can leave a message which inner dimensions it has.

    Then we were three. Got the buckle today with the mail. To my delight, it was 16 mm in inner dimensions. The seller claimed that it was 20 mm. Wondering which measuring instrument he used. Now I have three and just miss one more
