My question is about the strap trimming you did. Was that because you wanted a larger overall strap width? If you had bought the perfect lug width strap (18mm?) would the rest of the strap also be 18mm, and look too flimsy? What was the full size of the actual strap you used because it looks great?
@Techsas5 жыл бұрын
Hi, I wanted my strap to align with the bezels. In my experience 18mm straps look too skiny on Casio watches especially AE1200. So I used 24mm strap and trimmed it to fit the lug. Hope that answers you question :)
