how a strap fits

[gkyle840]

I am having trouble finding a strap for my 029 that fits my wrist properly.

one of the biggest problems with the leather straps is the huge gap between the buckle and my wrist. (I have included a pic)

-my wrists are 6.5"

-the straps that i have tried so far are as follows. 1) the rubber strap that the watch came with 2) BOB buffalo and a BOB calf skin

the factory rubber strap almost but the last hole is too small and the 2nd to last is a little loose.

the BOB straps do not fit as well. the 2nd to last hole is a bit to tight and the 3rd to last is way to loose.

it just seems like my wrist and the leather straps are a completely different shape.

is there a good company someone can reccomend that can custom size a strap to my wrist?

I would like to keep the price under $100 if thats possible.

pics of my strap not quite fitting.

sorry for the bad pics. its not the cameras fault im just a bad photographer.

I have small wrists too. You can order a "small" from Kurt at The Watch Boys, which should fit perfectly.

is your strap fully broken in? and you can try to use a bluckle with a different angle on the "hole-pin" and/or different pin-lenght.

Looks like you could do with using some leather conditioner on the strap to soften it up, I've just picked up the same model and same strap and gave mine lots of conditioner, it takes a few days to soak into the leather but makes a lot of difference on the wrist
