Hello all. I recently acquired two (!) Swiss Army 25499 watches in an assortment of non-runners I purchased. I have managed to get one running pretty easily; the other will likely require a new movement. However, the issue is that neither one has a strap, and the strap configuration is a bit funky - originally a notched silicone/rubber strap. The notch is about 15mm, the outer band 23mm. Sourcing an original band for these is well-nigh impossible, as they haven't been produced since (I believe) 2009, and nothing else has the same band. (See image for original configuration) My question is, does anyone have a good suggestion as to what might be a source for a workable, decent-looking alternative? A 15mm strap is just going to be way too small (and likely uncomfortable); nobody seems to make a notched band in 15/23, and I'm not sure the angles in the case are quite 90 degrees, so fit would be fiddly. I have considered a bund strap, but can't even find one of these for 15mm lugs... Thanks for any ideas!
