Hey Guys, I just sent an extra Alpina rubber strap for the models with the notched lugs to Steveo so he can create a template for leather straps with the exact measurements....I'm sure there are others here that would like a leather strap for their Alpinas.

At the lugs the measurement is 26mm, the OEM rubber straps taper pretty dramatically at the buckle, not sure about the bracelets.

I'm thinking I may just want to keep it un tapered or maybe taper it to 24mm.

What do you guys think....

I agree with you Nick 22mm would be the absolute smallest.

I agree as well. For the record, my bracelet is 22mm on the clasp.
Pics are blued because of the winter afternoon light.

Steveo just sent me pics of the strap he made for me...went with the taper at the buckle of 24mm

Will post up pics on the watch as soon as I get it.

Went with smooth black for the first one, will go with something more exotic next time.
