Okay, Guys...I was going to post this in the J&S section, but I thought I would get quicker response here. I'm going to get this strap for my PRS50 and I need some opinions: 1) Should I get the 22mm lug or a 24mm lug notched down? 2) What stitching color? I kinda like the yellowish/tan in the picture...but are there any other opinions? Thanks!!! jns-strap wrote: hi KenC,

Bigger is better, but I have never done it with a sleeved endpiece. If you can get through it without it getting chewed I imagine it would look great. Yellow or red would work....but I like white. Very cool watch haven't seen it beforecool10.gif

It has a 42mm case and the 22mm lugs seem to carry it quite well. I don't know if 24mm would be overdoing it.

I think a 22mm would serve the watch better. The '50 isn't a lightweight, but I think a 24mm (just looked at a very similar Delaurian I have in comparison to the '50 here in front of me) would be too much for this fairly compact watch.

Hi Ken, My only experience at having a strap notched turned out pretty ghastly, so, I would probably stick with 22mm. As for stitching, I think the strap pictured looks very nice. Alternatively, I would probably opt for red stitching. to pick up the red of the dial and second hand. Red would also match my bloodshot eyes today. Mr. Bill

Okay...I'm getting a 22mm consensus here...and I'm leaning toward red, but I'd like a little more input!!! For example...where is PAX the incorrigible? The Dawg, Oscar and Mister Color himself...TonyD, the Zipmeister, Steve, et al?

Hi Ken - can't speak for the others that you actually want an opinioin from, but I would go 22mm as well - I have seen a few good notch jobs - but I think a 24 would overpower the watch. If you MUST go 24mm notched, and the notched ends are finished off properly - ya just have to take care of the "wings" left behind after the notching cos they invariably rub against the lugs. Accent stitch - red, black, white or mustard color are your options, I reckon - each picks up something on the dial. Cool strap by the way.. Have fun! IanM hand6.gif

I think you guys are right. 24mm would overpower the case, especially since it is a 5.5mm thick band...and I think I'll go with the red stitch!

Yeppers 22mm and that Ken I think is going to make that watch look like it's up another level or 2. That will be sweet. And a dull red not bright will just set it off that much more. ;)
