Any inputs on where to shop as well as how to secure around lugs will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.
The watch is Tissot Heritage Porto, got it for my wife with intention to borrow. Original strap is too short.
As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

I have no experience ordering from this site, but it looks like they have a lot to pick from:nicegator wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2023 1:17 pm I'm looking for an open end strap 16 mm , 14 mm buckle for a watch with fixed lugs.

Re: Looking for open end strap 16 mm
I've ordered from Watch Band Center and had a good experience. I believe they're based in Germany.
IW Suisse has a few. They are the company that sues everyone selling a NATO, so decide for yourself if that's a business you want to support. Here's an option from them on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/173771232217. This style has a metal clip that you fold in on itself, like a staple, to secure the band.
Hirsch has options too: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115533851811. These use an adhesive. Apply a little rubbing alcohol, clamp, and wait. Obviously a more permanent option.
I have no idea if this is a quality strap, but it shows the other attachment option: snap on. Not 100% sure, but I suspect there's a thin metal strip in the band like a tape measure. https://www.ebay.com/itm/203265745380
This seller on Etsy has several options as well. I have no experience with them. https://www.etsy.com/shop/BrosLeatherVN ... d=37938245
Can you tell I also have a watch with 16mm fixed bars?
