Watch Bands in Between-Sizes

ALTERNATIVES:
Metal watch straps (stainless steel etc.) are rarely available as standard in uneven lug widths - however, with a little skill, many can be adjusted accordingly by sanding/filing down the lugs.
For flat and soft watch straps made of leather or rubber etc., the next larger straight lug width can also be used by "pressing" the ends of the strap together.
If a small distance between the watch strap and the lugs of your watch is generally acceptable to you, the next smaller straight lug width can also be installed. In our experience, this is often not a problem with NATO bands and other pull-through straps. In addition, many leather straps, especially in the more robust versions, are slightly wider than the actually specified lug width due to usual production tolerances.
Watch straps made of rubber, silicone and caoutchouc can also be made to fit by carefully and evenly cutting both ends of the strap using a sharp blade. This is generally not recommended for leather watch straps due to their nature.
