I’m sure the strap should fit if both are 22mm, would you consider a blue rubber clad strap?

This watch can use a blue strap!

I wonder if the strap from the 45mm IW379507 will fit this 42mm aquatimer?! Both say 22mm at lugs but risky with the quick strain change system ...

they said the straps will fit but the 45mm doesn’t taper so I would need an 18mm buckle as well. Kind of expensive for what it is!

If the 45 has a 22/22 strap then why do you need a new 18 mm buckle?

Did you mean that you have to buy a 22 mm buckle?
