Reply With QuoteI recon you could squeeze in on without too many issues, I've never seen a shaved down rubber strap that looks good yet...
As mentioned in Watch Talk, I'm now the very happy owner of an orange Tissot Seastar 1000 with 19mm lugs. I've been looking round for an orange strap and I reckon the Isofrane will look fantastic. But... its only available in 20mm.
Has anyone reduced an Isofrane successfully and if so, any hints of tips?
Thanks all

Isofrane's are so pliable, 20mm will easily squeeze on to a 19mm lug width. Same goes for a 22mm strap for a 21mm lug spacing. No problem.
This is a 22mm Isofrane on 21mm lugs,
No problem at all.
Thanks guys, I've bitten the bullet and the isofrane is on the way. Will post the result in due course.
(BTW, love that combination SL!)
And here she is; a bright and cheerful addition to my collection!
(Oh, and kudos to Watch Obsession; ordered Sunday evening, arrived Tuesday morning. Doesn't get much better than that)

In my experience a 1mm squeeze still looks fine, more so with an ISOfrane, but a 2mm squeeze already shows and I can't tolerate it.
