    I could be wrong but I recollect seeing multiple possible lug widths in the drop down menu at time of ordering mine. Maybe check it out on 30th September when he opens shop again, he closes ordering quite quickly after that date when max quantity is reached.

    I have heard nothing but good things about gasgasbones. The strap quality is very good. I have several friends with his straps and they look and wear well.

    However i have tried a few times to get straps from him but he closes his shop super quickly. It is like trying to find that Popeyes chicken sandwich

    I have come to the conclusion that I have a better chance at walking into a Rolex AD and being able to buy a sport model right then and there then I do getting a strap at gasgasbones.

    There is a notification option on his site or just set a reminder for the first day he opens shop, takes about 3 days after that before he closes ordering.

    I've had 2 straps & a few Speedmaster related extras (key fobs etc) from Gasgasbones & cannot fault the quality I put the SPV1 on my Speedmaster wore it into the Omega store in Bluewater and the manager said it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen

    Gasgasbones has quit making straps :confused: Well, it’s only gasgasbones ‘lite’ now, with the SPV1 the only Speedy strap available...See below

    Hey - for those of you who have the SPV1, does it slip on with the spring bars attached the way the NATO does, or do you have to remove the spring bars to get this strap on?

    A marine national velcro strap is also perfect. Still, if it’s too long you can cut it and it will fit your wrist perfectly.
    Found it at Etsy if I remember correctly. 4A76D0AE-46C0-47A5-BC41-D16D136F324E.jpeg

    I know this doesn't answer the original OP question, and it may be heresy here, but I sometimes wear my watch with the Bulova Lunar velcro strap.
