Watches with 26mm lug width's

[lokati]

I just recently got a panerai fiddy with 26mm lugs and bought several beautiful straps. Infact, I'm so ensorcelled with how the thick 26mm straps look I would like to find some other watches.

So far, I am looking at a citizen ecozilla with modified adapter for 26mm straps, what else is out there to consider?

*EDIT* Considering gens and replicas under 300$ a piece.

I wear all my 44mm PAMS that have 24mm lugs with 26mm straps. I like the look of the wide strap better and the watch sits better. I don't even cut them to fit, just compress them slowly with a clamp before installing them, that way they don't look like they've been cut to fit. Here is the one I'm wearing now, that's a 26mm strap on a 24mm pam.

Seems like that would make the strap look like a poor fit when moving it around among 26mm lug watches? or is the elasticity well enough?

Any 45mm Rad.

Breitling SOH & SOHC, PAM292, all Radiomir(?)

arent those 24mm lug width Alex?

The breitlings I mean

Hrm, apparently not that many.

There aren't many that I've had experience with. Just the 47mm luminor/Radiomir watches. Even big heavy pieces like the super avenger and deep sea challenge are only 24mm... I believe.

Yep, you're right, I thought it was 26mm.

Just the Radiomir then.

What about a U-Boat, some of the 52mm ones must use a 26mm strap (or bigger!)?

Ah no, Rads are 27mm

Rads are 27mm, but they look fine with 26mm straps I reckon

 

[frigpig]

Any 47mm sub like the 194 or 187

Vintage Pam's are awesome. 6152/1 6154 3464 EGI all have 26mm straps.

Yea, you're right... although I've even squeezed in a 28mm before. A Bronzy of course, not OEM. But 26mm looks good if its not tapered.

So I picked up a Radiomir, and a Citizen Ecozilla for some more watches with 26mm bands.

I am still looking for other watches besides Panerai that take 26mm bands since I love the size on my wrist.

Here's some pics of the Citizen with newly installed adapters to support lug bars and a Stach strap.
