strap question

I don't see why not. I would think Greg's straps are top notch so no worries. What is your concern? That the strap might rub the case??
For a 111 you are looking for 24mm width and you will need to work out what length you need, depends on the size of your wrist.
Gregs straps are thick, so a little longer is best for his I think.

My wrist is 15,5 cm little.But I think that I have read something about davidsens 111 are not 1:1 and that can't fit thick straps?

Thick straps do not have anything to do with fitting a case. The width size does and the length, but not the thickness. If made properly, you could have as great as 10mm thick and it fit perfectly fine.
6.1 inches is a very small wrist. You may have trouble getting a strap that is that short enough in length unless Greg 'custom' makes it. I know he will do custom work, but it costs more than his listed prices. Just a FYI.
See what you mean now, I wonder if it would fit without the tube installed?
Sorry dont have the answer for you, someone will know though

well tootall.....his concern is absolutely right...and i am not so sure if you know what you are talking about...davidsens lug horns are quite shorter then they should be, a thick strap may not - or only very difficult fit in there......i had a 5,5 mm strap which i tried and tried and almost messed up the screw in bar....dont talk so smart and tell him a 10mm will fit in there...come on !tootall said:
not every strap fits with a Davidsens watch....dawg, the mod has a Dadsn Panny with a G.Stevens strap...ask him !!
good luck
Some time ago I read something about it and a guy that could not fit his crazyhorse greg strap but well I'm spaniard and my english sucks...

I know exactly what I am talking about. That's why I said if made properly. Even if the lug bars were closer it would fit fine.
The problem comes in if you are talking about a standard Greg Strap. But, his standard sizes would not fit Micifu's wrist. Micifu would have to get it custom made. And in doing so could specify to make sure it is properly made.
Like I said thickness does not matter in a custom strap.
That's what all of Greg's are supposed to be. However, I have been doubting that more and more now. (the fact that Greg's straps are custom made. Or even handmade. )
My last 4 or 5 Davidsen watches had the
SAME exact case as all the other Pam reps- No problems with any size straps.
As or right now I can safely say Davidsen is NOT making the cases that his 44mm watches come in- they're standard issue.

the problem with dsn case isnt the lug size, although they are a bit shorter than other cases I've compared it too, the real problem is the position on the lug where he drills the screw holes.
Look at the hole position in the lug of a dsn case and then compare it to other non-dsn cases,,,, you'll see...
I could not for the life of me put a frekingg pam rubber strap on one of dsn case, it just would not reach, so i would think that a "regular" greg stevens wont fit either without working on it...
since gregg stevens are custom made, maybe you can ask him if he can make it slimmer just on that part of the strap, it can be done and it's better if he rubs it from the inside than you rubbing it from the outside...
Other solution is no tubes, makes all the difference in the world with some straps but with others it is futile....

Again- The new DSN cases are identical to the other rep cases... I don't think he is using his own design anymore- Looks more like he's getting standard reps and replacing the dial, hands, crown.

Depends on how much you are willing to spend I guess.
What's your price range?
Bob straps are the only non custom strap makers that make the smaller sizes. At least that I know of. Other than that you will have to go with a custom maker to get the proper size.
I highly recommend savage_here (new custom maker). There are others as well; Greg, Hktan, etc.
Here is a link to most all strap dealers. http://replica-watch.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11308
WTF was I thinking,,,, ok start over:
Depends,,, how long a tail you like and where exactly do you like the position of the buckle.....
Strapmasters website has a nice tutorial to accurately measure your wrist and get the most appropiate sized strap accordingly.
For your size wrist I would suggest 65/115 or 70/110,, unless you like the long tail....

Im I the only one who likes a long tail on their strap, I find most a little short.
7 1/2" wrist here by the way.
