    Have a 24mm strap, help me find a Seiko for it.

    I have a 24 mm Brady Strap that's black with red stitching and I'm looking for Seiko to match it. Thanks.

    A nice Ananta Spring Drive GMT - the stitching would match the 24 hour hand :)

    Seiko "BFS" family has 24mm lug width.

    I don't know this particular strap, is it a strap that you can nudge / cut at the lug-ends?
    If so you can carefully cut a millimeter off both ends (vertically) to make it fit a 22mm watch, which are a whole lot more common than 24mm lug width watches (esp. Seikos!)
    You can even cut it so it will fit a 20mm lug width watch.
    IF... of course the strap lends itself for such an operation.
    Again I don't know the strap.
    Let me know what you decide.
    Good luck in advance.

    Thanks for your cool responses. The Ananta is gorgeous but it's way out of my league in terms of funds. The BFS is no longer available and I can't seem to find one in here, ebay, etc. I did find another alternative is the BFK diver, the SKA371 - http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SKA371-K...9014118&sr=1-2

    The BFK has 20mm lugs, same as the Spork - they share the same bracelet. The bracelet is 24mm at its widest, but is trimmed to go around the lugs.

    Thanks for the correction. I'll keep looking.
