Straps for Modern 1959 Alpinist: Black, Green or both?
Frustrating 19mm lug width
but still love the watch Any more ideas? Has anyone switched straps on this model? |

ive got the same watch in the creme dial and i can say from experience that 20mm rubber and leather straps will work, they go in tight between the lugs for obvious reasons but they will fit and function just fine

Im going to try 20mm. I assume the rubber straps may squeeze in easier than leather.
