band size

[cavi]

this might sound like a dumb question, but here goes anyway.  when I have a normal standard size watch band, I am typically on either the last hole or the next to the last hole.  If I go with the xl length bands then I find that the long end is too long.  Is there any dealer that sells a version where the short side (the clasp side) that is longer and the other side is normal length?  If I did that then the clasp would end up in the middle of my wrist instead of way off to the side which seems odd, not to mention when the clasp is off to the side the band does not sit correctly on the underside of my wrist.  If I get the full xl bands then I have all that extra strap that I hate....

There are lots of reasonably priced strap makers out there who will build to your wrist size.......    That's your best option.

any chance you could give me a name or to as a starting point?

My wrist is shaped weird so I generally only like the way custom made straps fit.  Same with bracelets I need even number of links on both sides of the clasp where most have more on one side.  

 

Donerix is great to deal with, great guy and can custom make just about anything you want.  http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/178018-donerix-hamilton-laboratory-sale-now/

 

There are a ton of strap makers online as well.  It has been hit and miss for me with various online makers.

you sound like you are in the same boat as me.  Thanks for the link!!!  It is funny on metal bracelet types I usually do not have many issues but leather straps......

What I find to be really comfortable is a leather NATO from cheapestnatostraps.com, like this:
