lugs are 20mm. they look cool if you take a 24mm strap and cut it to fit the lugs.

Thanks! 20mm seems rather thin now that i've so accustomed to 24 n 26mm straps... Damn...

The Orange model looks great and was thinking about getting one but i guess its better i try one out in the stores before purchasing it..



Thanks HK!!

pf, I would get the watch with the bracelet. The bracelet has "shoulders" that stick out about 1mm on each side so that the bracelet has the appearance of being more like 22mm than 20mm. Additionally, the bracelet is of FANTASTIC quality and the clasp is nicer than I've seen on watches costing thousands more. I'll snap some comparo pics and post them later today.

LoS, these watches are MUCH more impressive in real life than my pictures indicate. Check out some of Pugwash's pics of his Black Monster for better representation of the fit/finish of these watches.
