Thanks... you mean small as in too narrow? That strap is the same width as the AF 0210's (I know as I have one 😀 )and they fit fine on the bigger lugged WWW's (the Hammie is 17.5mm the WWW's 18mm. Don't forget in the forces 'size doesn't matter' 😉.. its not a crime to have a watch strap that is a tad too narrow.. I use a 12.5mm wide Bonklip with 16mm end pieces on my 18mm Omega '53...works just fine for me.

Yes, well aware of the strap widths, just me 🙄

You said "I could not live with that original strap on the Hammie, way to small."...I now have absolutely no idea what you meant.

I do not like a strap that does not fill between the lugs.

Aha now I see.... that's how they were originally used so that's good enough for me, like I said when I served my time looking cooooool was only a small part of the job 😉

But I know what you mean I almost want to kill when I see this new trend of throwing these fake French Para straps on every watch and believing that it looks Pukka Ally!
