Yes, most watches have standard sized bands. There is something called a "lug measurement", which is the width of the strap end that fits onto the watch. It's usually in millimeters (mm), so it could be 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, and so on. You do not need to buy the same brand of band as the watch. The best place to find a new band for low prices is eBay and Amazon.
mcdevito75 here, Ebay is your best bet for the Leather band for your Cartier watch, but! you:ll need to know the MM size of the band. Measure the width of the band just as it hooks onto your watch, use a ruler, most rulers have both the MM scale and American, if your ruler has only the American mmeasurement use the online Standard to MM calculator for the MM size from the American or standard measurement. Carefully measure the width of the band just as it hooks onto the watch, count the segments in the ruler either each MM or each 16 th of an inch, convert to MM then look on ebay for the strap.
If you are looking to purchase a new watch, you have likely seen that there is a measurement for the watch case. This does not mean the box which contains the watch. The watch case is the space between the two arms that extend above and below the watch where the band attaches. The end of the band will fit in between the watch case. You will need to know this measurement both in purchasing a new watch and in looking for a replacement band. Often, watch makers give this number in millimeters, and for that reason, you will need to use a metric ruler to make the measurement.
jQuery('.intro .thumbnail').each(function(i,e){
jQuery(e).find('img').one('error',function(){ jQuery(e).remove(); });
});
Find the watch case. It is the space where the end of the band attaches to the watch face. Refer to the image for a picture of the location of the watch case.
Using the metric ruler, measure the distance from the inside of one of the arms to the inside of the other arm. Watch makers use the inside measurement when creating their watches, not the distance from the outer edges of the arms.
Write down the measurement on the piece of paper. Measure the other watch case, but they should both be the same measurement.
jQuery('.article ol .image').each(function(i,e){
var $this = jQuery(this);
$this.find('img').error(function(){
jQuery(this).remove();
$this.remove();
});
});
Measure between the lugs, (where the currently installed bracelet/strap is installed. It should be measured in millimeters as that how all straps/bracelets are measured. Standard men's widths are 20, 22, 24 and some 26mm. There are of course, variations like proprietary bracelets and straps made to fit watches which will only accept the proprietary size made for it. These are usually much smaller (18, 14, 16mm) and integrated into the watch body design.
