: Perforated Straps... What would be the most
: desirable sizes?

: I was contacted by a strap maker who is
: interested in producing a batch of 200
: perforated straps with vintage Heuer and
: other chronos in mind.

: "To the best of my knowledge most of
: these watches took 19 and 20mm straps. Can
: you confirm this, Chuck?"

: To my knowledge, the Original 1964 Carrera and
: the re-issues take 18mm, the Autavia 12's
: from the 1960's take 19mm, the Autavia GMT
: (v.724) takes a 20mm, my Autavia 7736
: Cushion case takes a 20mm, my Gray PVD
: Autavia Micro-Rotor takes a 21mm, etc. I
: know most Speedmaster moonwatches take
: either 19mm or 20mm.

: Eventually I'd like to create a table/database
: for Heuers, like my Omega Chronograph
: dimension tables (see link).

: So what sizes would be most attractive/useful
: to you?

: Who knows? With enough response perhaps they
: will increase the production run!

Hi Chuck,

On a purely selfish basis I would say 18, 20, and 22mm. This is nothing to do with the fact that I have a Carrera re-issue (18), a Cal.11 Carrera (20), and a 7736 Monaco (22).

Keep us posted, this sounds promising!

Thanks,
Ian
