deniz21 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 hi guys, know im realy bored my wrist is 18cm that means 7inch, and all the heroic straps are 135/80 mm this is too long or not? what i say is the pam alone has 44 mm, but who the straps start is maybe 50 or 55mm watchsize. and if the short one is 80mm long without the buckle means that the buckle will not fit in the middle where it normaly shoud stay and imho that will not look good have you guys the same probs or are your wrists that big? can you show me how they look or shuld i look after shorter straps thanks in advance denz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 A standard strap is often about 125mm/80mm (of course each designer is a bit different). I have ordered short ones at 115mm/70mm, have a 6.5" wrist, and it buckles on the second last hole...so the standard one is probably better. A 135/80 will likely fit closer to the 3 or so holes in from the lugs on a 7" wrist. There are some BIG wrists here on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz21 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 hello toadtorrent i dont know if you understand me cause of my english the lugs are not the problem when i put a pam on at the AD its fit perfect, and when i closed the watch the buckle was in the middle of my wrist but the heroic is 80mm and i think this will putted on the watch at the end of my underside from the wrist , far away from the middle or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz21 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 or is this normal on the big straps that it not fit in the middle, like the (normal) straps most do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz21 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 ok ok it seems to be normal http://www.paneraisource.com/images/articles/strap_zeugma5.jpg found a pic cool looking denz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Your wrist are the same size as mine.. 120/80 ... but Heroic .. makes theirs a little longer due to the "girth" (thickness) of their straps .. ergo .. it is a good fit for my wrist.. the thicker the strap the more length needs to be added... you'll be fine with their straps..

blackbard Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I make my own for the buckle to sit in the middle regardless of the thickness of the strap. If I know the wrist size of my customer, I will make the male portion of the strap to line up to the middle hole as well so they have room to wear it a little tighter or a little looser. I supplied one of mine to a coworker and he enjoyed the fact that the buckle was not in the center(my wrist is bigger...). It all depends. I find standard straps from any manufacturer generally to be too short. It all depends on the look you want and the comfort level... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz21 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 hi blackbard but im right that this strap will not fit in the middle of my wrist right? i veher had a strao like this, maybe you know? thanks denz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbard Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 75mm-80mm should be close to the middle. 75 would probably be a hair short while 80 might be a hair long. Mine is 7.5 and 80 is just about perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 hi blackbard but im right that this strap will not fit in the middle of my wrist right? i veher had a strao like this, maybe you know? thanks denz I understand now. Like Blackbard said, if you know how you want it to sit...then custom may be the way to go. You can specify the length of the female end (or buckle end) to be in the position on your wrist you want, and then the punched end to be whatever length. My TWB SHORT strap has the buckle in the middle and I like this. My longer straps sit off to the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz21 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 thanks guys for the input but costum is maybe a bit to much money for me now, and i like the style of the heroic ones too bad maybe i will go to the gym and it will grow a little bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
