What's Included
Find Your Lug Width
If you're looking to purchase a strap for your watch, you will need to know the lug width of your watch. Lug width refers to "A" in this schematic below.
There are two ways to find out the lug width of your watch.
- Firstly, you can Google "<watch brand and model> lug width" and see if there is an answer from the brand's website, or some other websites.
- Alternatively, you can simply take a ruler and measure the lug width directly on your watch.
Lug widths are typically in whole numbers, and while the most common lug widths are between 18-22mm, they can go down to 8mm or up to 32mm even. Our ready stock straps are available in 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 24mm and 26mm. If you need other lug widths, you can have it custom made.
You will then need to purchase a strap of the same lug width. For example, if your watch has a lug width of 20mm, you will need to purchase strap with a width of 20-16.
Note: Our Widths typically have two numbers, for example 20-16. The first number (20) refers to the lug width ("A" in the schematic above). The second number (16) refers to the buckle width ("B" in the schematic above). You just need to ensure that the first number matches the lug width of your watch.
Cut-To-Size
The strap comes in one length, and can be easily trimmed down to fit any wrist size, for a comfortable, secure fit.
Waterproof
The material and construction is waterproof, and the strap can be soaked in water for extended periods.
Rubber Lining
The strap is crafted with a rubber lining, for increased sweat resistance while worn on the wrist.

Customer Reviews
When I received my Ming 22.01 gilt, I thought the strap that came with it was a bit thin despite the good quality. So I was looking for a more substantial option. A few of the customers here were posting images of their Ming with the curved end strap. They looked good. So I decided to buy this, despite the relatively high price. But it is worth every penny. the strap is easy to size (with detailed instructional video and article), the buckle works great. Now I am thinking about getting a different color so I can change up the look on the fly!
I purchased the curved rubber strap for my MING watch and i am more than happy with it so much so i used this now almost everyday - i notice a lot of discussion about the CTS strap in the forum and whether the strap and buckle is worth the steep price. Well, my verdict is, it is so much so i am now shopping for a second one - let me tell you what works - first the colours works with the watch - it don’t look plastic or unnatural - the colours works with the MING and most watch if you need a subdued, discrete look - secondly the system to trim to your length works well too - it is just a smart intuitive way to do it. But my biggest point is also the buckle - that leaf spring clasp - oh boy this just works so naturally well. I just love this clasps - and it has some adjustment point to lengthen or take in on both ends so you size to your range of wrist condition (hot/cold weather expansion contraction) so it will work well with all conditions. As a rubber for hot summers, this just work so well - the colours can work with your office clothes too (except for those brighter colours which is another story). Buy this for your MING, you will finally realise the 100m rating of your MING with a strap which you can go out like a sporty watch. No regrets, perfectly happy!
When these straps were first announced on Insta, I said I didn’t like the look and even mentioned that often the straight end CTS straps didn’t fit my wrist well. Well I stand corrected. The strap fits perfectly and looks amazing paired with a Ming. I even tried on my Rolex Explorer II and love the fit on that as well. Great job Ken and staff. Keep up the amazing work.
Very good
but cutting is so hard... lol
