I have just received my Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m GMT. Lug width is 21m. Most Nato straps come in even sizes only, so if I buy a 22m, do I use the 21m springbars, or do I get 22's?? Assuming I buy new ones, the only place I've ever bought from is Panatime. Is that a good source??

Any other input would be greatly appreciated.

I don't see the correlation! Just use the same spring bars. A 22mm NATO should be fine on a 21mm lug width - but depending on the quality of the NATO you may get some bulge on the NATO edges close to the inner lugs

 

Just use the same spring bars. Also 21 mm NATO straps are available if you shop around. I personally wouldn't go larger than the lug width for NATOs as it will bulge and look off.

 

Even omega doesn't differentiate between 21-22mm NATO straps.

 

Search is your friend.


But for reference the Omega nylon nato sizes are actually 19.5mm and 21.5mm. If you go to an OB or AD they should be able to supply with the right springbars, which for your piece are the 20mm for bracelet, 21mm for strap, and 21mm curved for nato. 22mm for anything other than bracelets should be fine as well as long as they fit in the springbar holes in the lugs.
