About straps

I'm having a hard time finding specific info about straps. I'd like to find a rubber strap for my new daily wear watch to make it more t-shirt/shorts friendly.

Its a 21mm spring bar type, but my question is will anything that fits those general specs work? Or do I need something manufacturer/model specific? Any help would be appreciated.

you need to be specific. find a place that sells your watch and ask them your choices. a good dealer will know most.

If not you will need to know exact mm

Its listed in the manual as 21mm, for this particular model the manufacturer only has a bracelet (what I've got) and a leather strap.

So there is no generic 21mm strap, it has to be manufacturer/model specific?

I don't think they make rubber straps but I've had good luck with leather from these guys. Watch Straps | Watch Bands | Custom Leather Straps and Bands |

Man everywhere I look most are 20mm. I wonder if one would fit.

The only 21mm one I've been able to find is that last one you posted h20. But gold buckles won't match at all.

Technics, I only see 20mm 22mm, not 21mm on either of those sites. Damn, why does it have to be an off size!

EDIT: Found one here in 21mm!
