0.5mm of difference between the lugs will not make a real difference, don’t worry!
As the MN strap is elastic it will look fine, as it compresses a bit
Hi All - I’ve ordered an 18mm MN strap for my 17.5mm lug width Seagull. Now I’m wondering whether this may have been a mistake! Any experiences out there to share please on tolerances etc?
Thanks,
James

It would depend on the maker and material used
EO are now true to size where as previously they were a bit wider when using old surplus material (20.5mm give it take)
Others will vary but I doubt you will notice .5mm difference on the wrist
Doubt you’ll notice it.
Thanks for the advice guys; it seems to be ok!

Thanks! Not quite; it’s an authentic Seagull.

Good colour choice. FWIW, I'm wearing a 22mm EO right now, and it's a perfect 22mm!
Nice choice OP suits the watch
To try to illustrate what I mean by the very first NOs strap being slightly wider than 20mm
As you can see it is maybe 20.5/21mm instead of 20mm
The very first straps used the hard wear from the webbing as well which I really like.
I don’t mind the over lap as it suits the scruffy nature of the watch
I have an original MN issued strap which is a continuous stitched band of the same material without buckle and it’s identical in width
I am a big fan of EO straps.
