Hi friends,

I owe breitling navitimer world on a bracelet. Been looking to get a croc strap on it for while. I know 24-20mm is the usual size of the strap for the navitimer world. Now here is the confusion, a friend of mine is selling 22-20mm croc strap at a steep discount!! I am very tempted to purchase 22-20mm strap.

- Has any one put a 22-20mm strap for a 24-20mm breitling ? Any pictures if possible..


Thanks a lot in advance
guys!!

There will be a 2mm gap will work but doesn't look that nice, get a 24/20, you can actually hammer the ends of the strap a bit to cut down the gap maybe bye a MM, if your going to get the 22/20 that's what I would do, hammer the 22mm ends

I wouldn't start hammering a 22mm croc strap, it will still look like cr@p between 24mm lugs.

Very true, but if he does it gentle it would close the gap a little, believe me I would not do it to my expensive breitling straps, but then again I wouldn't put a 22mm between 24mm lugs.

Thanks guys. I think I will pass by the 22mm. Price was tempting but I don't want the watch to look horrible.
