A change in leather and stitch ...........

Kaktus Beater Brown on the 104.Had this strap on the 242,but for a change installed it on the 104.This is a 26mm strap.

I think its suits the 104 well !!

There was a long stretch where I only wore 26mm on 44 Luminors.

Looks nice.

The 26mm straps from various manifacturers looks very nice on the Luminors.I have never had a problem with fitting to the case.The squished effect disappears quickly,as the strap settles on the fit.I have also used it on the Radiomir again.Just stretch it a bit and its perfect again !! No need to cut a 26mm strap to fit a Luminor. Leather is a wonderful material !!

I didn't know you could use 26mm straps on 24mm lugs.

It must be a very tight squeeze, I don't know that I would be game to buy a 26mm strap to fit on a 44mm

Anyway, what if any are the benefits of a 26mm strap on a 44mm case?

I was more thinking in line of a rabid Koala .... sitting in that bluegum tree,waiting for the poor ,defenseless, innocent victim to walk under.. ,those shifty eyes,going left,going right .... and then with the ferocious attack of a ninja turtle,it strikes !!!!!!

Its not a tight squeeze,its a slight squeeze.Done this with different brand of straps.

If you have a 26mm strap for a Radiomir,its nice to fit on a Luminor too,if mood dictates.I have a GSD whiskey that looks great on the 104 and the 242.

Dont need to buy a 26mm for a Luminor,but nice to have as an alternative for both a Luminor and Radiomir.Simple.

Sorry to pick up an old thread... Would it be ok to fit the 26mm strap to a 47mm Luminor (1950) after we have squished it for a 44mm Lum? I was told that the leather could become 'permanently squished'... Is this true?
