Out of curiosity: does the OEM rubber strap fit the 45 mm Radiomir well? I was interested in getting one for my 183 a while back, but when I went to inquire at an AD, I was advised against buying one by one of the salespeople. They said the strap is more ...
The strap is the original one coming with the watch,special made for radiomir wire lugs and of course fits perfectly,also is 46mm on the lugs tapering to 42mm
I believe the rubber OEM straps are either 26 or 24mm wide; so of course you can put a 26mm strap in between 27mm lugs. In general people don’t put the OEM rubber on radiomir with wire lugs,
BTW, who did the brushing? It got very well. I’m not against customizing, if it makes you enjoy even more your watch and also makes it more personal. Wear it in good health. René
