    Quick Q for those who know Dunhill watches

    Anyone know the lug width of these 8034 pieces? Have one incoming and would like to put it on a crocodile and take it on a business trip on Thursday but that probably means ordering a strap tonight. I assume 20mm but that might be an expensive assumption.

    It's 22mm

    Although could be 21...

    I'm scaling it off the case width being 38mm

    Do you think? That’s interesting, thanks. I thought it was a 37mm case but that’s only what the seller said.

    Most of this era Dunhill are 19, though I have no experience of this particular model.

    Fantastic watch btw! Dunhill punch way above their weight.

    Despite its odd quirky looks, I have had a hankering for a Dunhill x-centric. I recall they made two models, one with a quartz and one with a decent mechanical movement. I'd really like to see one in person before committing though and it would definitely have to go into the 'hard to sell on' category. Very much an acquired taste.

    I like a Dunhill.
    Currently have Two Wheel Watch ‘Petrolheads’ (it’s a long story), not a brand you ever see out and about.

    There is an 8034 on eBay with only a few hours to go.

    Yes, quite rare really and pleasingly different, especially given their history with early motoring. I have no idea who makes/made their watches though.

    Parcelforce tell me it'll arrive today, although I suspect that means a card will arrive today saying I have to pay duty on it, so I'll let you know!

    Thanks. Looks to be 21mm lugs from your very helpful case number.
