    This is my watch. There are many like it...but this one is mine.

    Nothing I can find in the 'specs' seem to tell me how wide that space is between the lugs for a sizing a new strap. I'm sure all of you will have that answer for me so assuming I then know the wide of the strap...is there a way to take off that very first link? I don't see any screw or pin holes on the sides of the lugs...

    When looking at straps online...I'm seeing double numbers like this...what do I look for? 22/20 mm or 22/18 mm I'm guessing it's the width but why are there 2 numbers?

    Thank you all for your patience with this Newb and all my questions.

    First number would be the width where the watch attaches between the lugs, second number is the width at the buckle, some straps have more taper.

    If you don't have a micrometer just measure the width with any ruler or tape that has mm on it.
