Question for the strap makers here

I've been pondering over TR's comments about his new MM300. He, and others here and elsewhere, have opined they would prefer to see 22mm lugs on that watch and other divers I can't recall offhand.

Has anyone tried to make a notched strap that would widen to 22mm at the lugs? It seems doable. Is it? In canvas or leather?

Drew, Art, Justyn?

It's been done many times. I don't like the look.

What was the spread, Chris? 20 to 22 widens only 1mm on either side.

I've seen similar solutions on a few dressy watches that didn't look bad. Different but not bad.

I've seen everything from 20/22 to 22/26. OEM Bell & Ross straps do this. I prefer a simple parallel cut strap.

It's doable but I think to emphasize the transition at the lugs I'd go 24mm to have 2mm notched on each side?

I notched a 24mm Iso for the MM specifically. I like the look and it seems to do a good job helping to balancing it out.

It was just a thought that Tom or others might like. I have no need. The ISO sounds great Kelly. Do you have a pic?

Art, I'll bet you could do a great one.

Not a very good Wayne, but here's one.

Well, its a leather strap, but I've always liked the MM300 on a Di Modell Chronissimo:

They both look right to me.

For me the perfect fit for the MM was the Timefactors version with the fat ends on the strap.
