    Strap question for North Flag owners

    I was looking at a review elsewhere and an owner says getting custom straps made would be fairly easy because the watch takes a normal spring bar ?

    anyone done it?

    Timeless did a thread on WUS where they put a rubber strap from Pelagos on a North Flag

    Strap question for North Flag owners

    Just did a little searching and I think you will need 12 mm between the lugs ( and a 12mm spring bar) the step the strap out to 18 mm

    Edit - 18mm seems a bit narrow looking at the picture but that is what I read

    Just taken a couple of quick pics.


    The gap is 12mm and the Pelagos rubber would fit (it also fits a black bay), although if I was having a strap made I would probably go for 23mm not 22mm.

    I think a cheap and quick DIY would also work by cutting a Hirsch Pure.

    Not for me, I will stick with the original bracelet.

    Word of advice though. Once the rubber bracelet is swapped over you lose the two indented gaps to squeeze the spring bars back out.
