Quick question for the experienced/more dapper folks of B&B. My watches currently have one of 2 lug widths: 20mm or 22mm. I've recently become interested in NATO-style bands - especially for my divers. Which, of course, includes 1 22mm and 1 20mm. The question is: how "wrong" would it be to try to consolidate on a single strap size for these 2 watches? 2mm doesn't seem like it'd be overly noticeable - at least not in a James Bond Goldfinger way.
Has anyone consolidated on a single size for multiple lug widths in their own collection? If so, did you go with the larger size and attempt to squeeze it into the smaller? Or get the smaller size and realize it won't fully fill the lugs on the larger watch(es)? OR, should I try to source 21mm straps and let them not fit either watch perfectly - but perhaps be less noticeable than a 2mm difference?
I'll try to give this a look next time I change straps as well. Just wanted to get some experience of others who may have tread these waters ahead of myself.
