The best thing is to measure against an existing strap because that will help you with the balance of each side as well as hole locations. It's probably also worht waiting until the watch turns up so that your measurements are accurate for that specific watch.

Another option to measure the lug size and band size would be using the measuring tools that is available in Ofrei website. You can find some options at this link: http://www.ofrei.com/page237.html

This guys are one stop shop for any Omega parts or bands, I found this gauge at their website under watchmaker tools may be it will also come handy in some situations.
