Tissot T-Navigator Strap options

Post by kl884347 »

Hey all,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Now on to the question at hand. I have a Tissot T-Navigator and can't bring myself to cut the rubber strap since they are like $65 if I ever decide to sell the watch later. I removed the strap but could not mount a regular 22mm metal band because the clearance was so tight on the lugs. So to the questions at hand:

1. Is there any trick to mounting a 22mm metal band to this watch?
2. Does anyone know of an inexpensive rubber alternative? I saw a black and orange silicon Barton band with quick release bars but all the reviews said that it tore too easily. That doesn't sound very appealing.
3. The OEM band is curved. Anyone own this watch have any negative experiences trying to mount a standard straight metal strap? Due to the lug design, I could see there being an aesthetic issue but other than that???

TIA for any advice.
