    Strap question

    Watch is 17 C.
    BOB sells a Breitling style strap on eBay that has a thickness of 7-3mm.
    The lug depth of the 17C appears to be 7mm. Will the strap fit?

    A link to the exact strap might help.

    Fair enough. But I found out that the seller offered 2 styles, the heavy padded Breitling and the Basic. Both are the same leather, etc but the Basic is a couple mm thinner and more appropriate for the 17C.
    I don't have the original link for the padded one but here's one for the Basic strap I bought,

    I suppose the thickness of the strap is just one aspect to consider. Whether or not the strap will fit the case also depends on how much material is folded around the hole for the spring bar - if that makes any sense.

    I don't have any experience with the BOB straps, my PRS-17C is on a RIOS Maranello strap (also known as RIOS Chrono Extrem), which I was able to install without any problems.
    Can post a picture later if you're interested.

    Apologies for the tardy reply and the less than stellar picture, but here goes:

    Have you taken delivery of the BOB strap?
