Once you click on ‘Add To Cart’, you will be able to provide your wrist, watch and other specifications.
I currently expect to make your strap within one week of you placing your order.
For reference, the strap in these photos tapers from 20mm to 16mm at the buckle.
The size of the holes on my ‘rally’ straps will generally vary depending on the width of the strap.
Given that leather is a natural product and that I will hand make your strap, your strap will differ from the sample straps shown in my photos.
If the gap between the lugs of your watch and its case is relatively large, your strap may be able to move around relatively easily. You must be careful not to drop your watch while putting on and taking off your watch.
I have used some of my personal watches to model my straps (though I am not affiliated with any of those brands).

First, there are three big benefits that come to my mind by choosing a one-piece watch strap over a two-piece strap:
if one of the spring bars fail, the watch should still be attached to the strap, saving it from a potentially devastating fall;
it is generally much easier to change out straps, as you generally do not need to remove the spring bars - minimising the risk of damaging your watch; and
you eliminate any unsightly gap between the strap and the watch case.
Secondly, as to why my one-piece straps over other one-piece straps on the market, most of the other one-piece straps do not taper. It is even rarer for other one-piece straps to start tapering from the lugs of the watch. In my opinion, a tapering strap makes the watch look much more elegant. This is where my straps excel, as I make them by hand in accordance with the measurements that you provide for your watch.
