And I want real rubber, not silicone! I'm willing to pay for the right strap, within reason. I'm looking for 20mm and 22mm, for various watches, in black. Most standard length watch straps are 190-200mm in length. I can get a 200mm around my wrist in most cases, but it's just too tight. 210-220mm straps are perfect. I've been looking everywhere, except my favorite German site with the huge selection of long straps. They won't ship to the US right now!  So I haven't even looked at their straps, since I'll just be sad. |

Hirsch Straps has 20mm XL black natural rubber straps . . . www.hirschstraps.com/collections/xtra-long-strapsNot much of a selection but it's something. |

Thanks, John! I was all set to buy one, but the XL isn't available in 22mm, which is the size I want the most.
Maybe I should just see how long I can go without eating and lose another 20 pounds.

I found a tropic style rubber strap at Watchgecko that's 210mm long for the 22mm. Less than $50 including shipping. I'll have a proper vintage style strap for the Dan Henry!  |

You shouldn't have mentioned Watchgecko. Don't think I'd heard of them before, but it cost me some coin today. Just bought a 19mm rice beads bracelet from them. Been looking for an appropriate 19mm for a long time. Some of the vintage on ePrey are very pricey for the NOS 1960's and 1970's vintage 19mm bracelets. I've modified 20mm in the past, but some watch head lugs and their setback don't 20mm wide links next to the end piece, even if the end piece is downsized a silly millimeter, the first link hangs up on the ends of the lugs and won't clear them. |

I just stumbled upon them when I did a google search for genuine rubber watch straps. A little shipping fee, but if the strap fits it's worth it. I didn't even look at their bracelets! Thanks for the warning.  |
