rckh Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Dear folks: I would like to go for the new 26K after read so many good review & comment about it. One thing bother me to pull the trigger...........I'm worry about my skinny 15.3cm/6.12inches wrist won't fit for the rubber straps. Is there anyone who got the 26K with rubber strap? Is it possible to help me to measure the size whether it fit for me or not? Because I really don't think punch 1~2 holes on rubber strap is a good idea. Thx so much for all your kindly help! Best Regards, Raymond

wheaton26 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 my wrist is about 1.25" bigger than yours. i wear my rubber strap on the fourth hole. from my calculations it should fit you on the first hole. you know you can buy smaller genuine rubber straps. they are 98mm / 68mm instead of 115mm / 75mm. worst case scenario, you put a different strap on it. but don't let the strap keep you from buying that beautiful watch. good luck!

wheaton26 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 yes, i actually bought a like new small rubber strap for my mother last year. i paid $100 although it was very hard to find. i suggest posting a want to buy ad on some of the gen forums.

subbiesrock Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Should fit at the last hole. The 115/75 is designed to fit most people. You'll just have a long tail.
rckh Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Posted May 12, 2011 Anyone could measure the total length when using the last hole on rubber strap? Best Regards, Raymond
asf Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 from the middle (wide part of the last hole on the eye of the opening) its 6.6mm long. the long strap is 11.5mm long. the short end is 7.5mm long
rckh Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Posted May 13, 2011 A million thx for your kindly help, bro! Best regards, Raymond
asf Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Sorry for the weird numbering. Im familiar only with the imperial system :/ Hopefully it will persuade you to order a 26k!
