You are correct a 111 is 24mm. 130/80 or 135/80 or 130/85 is the size you want. That fits a 8.5in wrist.

The answer to your question can vary greatly. I have no idea what 111h you are reffering to. However, most standard Rep straps are either 125/75 or 115/75.
How do you know you will need a longer strap if you have no idea how long the strap you are getting is. Or how big your wrist is?
Cheapest and probably easiest way to t find out your wrist size is too print out a ruler from some online place (do a google search tons of them exist). Then you can go from there.

That may be true of a 1mm thick strap, but if you are looking at custom or any other thickness say over 3mm those sizes would have to increase for 8.5" wrist. But he has no idea how big his wrist is.
I find that most people say their wrist is larger than what it really is. The people who admit they have small wrist are being honest and have some courage. Others it seems are ashamed to say they have anything under a 7" wrist.

You have 3 of what? Straps? If you don't know what size they are, then it won't do you any good to ask for another size. Best way is to print out ruler and measure. Here is a link: http://www.vendian.org/mncharity/dir3/paper_rulers/
130/80 means 130mm long side, 80 side with buckle. Takashi did a great write up explanation: http://replica-watch.info/forum/viewtop ... strap+size

You should have said that from the start
That strap is most likely a 115/75. You still need measure your wrist for a better fit, but you could "eyeball" it and say if you are wearing it on the last hole or the next to last hole (closest to the point not closest to the case) you could use a 130/80.
Just look at the links I posted above and that will give you pretty much all the information you need. As well as doing a search for "strap size explanation".

thanx, i used a straight ruler and marked a cord, wrist is inbetween 71/2-8... TOOTALL btw, how tall are you?
Well, I have a 7.5" wrist and with TC Straps (and others that are about 4mm thick) 125/80 is pretty good. I like 'em a little longer, so I think 130/80 would be perfect for my preference.
If you're over 7.5", I'd go with 130/85 would be the safer bet. Better a tad too long than a tad too short, IMO.
I'm 6'4", that's not "tootall". :wink:

Lexx is a big guy - I gave him some straps before I even thought about how big his wrists are. I'm an air head.

Hope this helps:
• 105/60 (15 to 16 cm /5.9-6.3 in wrist size)
• 110/65 (16 to 17 cm /6.3-6.7in wrist size)
• 115/70 (17 to 18 cm /6.7-7.0 in wrist size)
• 120/75 (18 to 19 cm /7.0-7.5 in wrist size)
• 125/80 (19 to 20 cm /7.5-7.8 in wrist size)
• 130/85 (20 to 21 cm /7.8-8.2 in wrist size)
• 135/90 (21 to 22 cm /8.2-8.6 in wrist size)
I guess 125/80 should be fine, or maybe 130/85...

@zetter... ive been wearing your staps, they work fine. i guess im just not used to wearing leather straps.

@lexx, one thing i'm gonna say is that the thicker the strap you get, you will need to get a longer strap... i just got a GeF that"s pretty hefty, i'm thinkin 5.5mm thick and 115/75 i'm on the tightest hole in that size with rep straps, but @ 5.5mm thick i'm 2-3 holes down... and while it fits fine, the tail end doesn't even peek out of the keeper, which is a look i don't like... just something to keep in mind if you get a thicker strap, which i highly reccommend...

yeah the straps i got from Zetter are great,but they only have one keeper instead of two.i wear them anyway but the strap doesnt go all the wa into the keeper.
yea.. it gets a bit annoying and i'm understanding the tru appeal of a custom strap, cuz when you go up in size, both parts of the strap get longer, and thats annoying cuz the buckle ends up further up your wrist instead of in the center... like for me, considering the strap is 5.5mm thick, i'd want something like a 135/70... but that's something that has to be custom, as no one offers sizes like that... oh well... just more stuff to throw money at... lol
