20mm band on a 21mm watch?

I have a Rolex Explorer II 42mm ref. 216570 and I love the nato straps but I'm finding it difficult to find as wide a selection of 21mm as I can 20mm.

Just curious if anyone tried a 20mm on a 21mm and if the 1mm difference was significant.

Thanks Everyone!

Have'nt tried it myself but imo a 22mm nato would most likely fit/look better on a 21mm lug space than a 20mm.

I haven't, but its the same as a 19 on a 20 - there is a gap! And it is noticeable, but, significance is in the eye of the signifier. Luck!

Not really, but you know the 1m gap is there
