Two straps share the same nominal width but differ in thickness and spring-bar clearance. Which dimensions need checking?

Clarification for “Strap compatibility: width is only the first measurement”: the point beginning “Measure the lug opening and document bar diameter,…” belongs to the question as written. It should not be read as a report that a new check, purchase or experiment has been completed. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.

Measure the lug opening and document bar diameter, shoulder position and strap thickness. Avoid forcing an assembly that does not fit and let a watchmaker check uncertain clearances.
