It's a pretty common search phrase on WUS, and the existing options are pretty shitty.

So what is the length of the strap are we talking about. Because a standard strap is 115/75 and has enough holes to fit all the way down to like 4.5-5 inches. Rubber straps are made a little longer to supposedly accommodate for a wet suit and are 120 with a buckle side still 75 maybe 80.

You guys are spoiled. So your buckle is not landing exactly where you want it to be, how about knowing that any OEM strap that comes on a watch will not fit your wrist? Is that better? :)

Uh... every OEM strap that comes on a watch DOESN'T fit my wrist. The only exception being the Tuna which "fits" with an 8 inch tail. Something like 110/70 would be decent.

I agree there aren't too many shorter rubber options. There are vintage tropics and I think Squale has one short strap, but it has a branded buckle. Bonetto Cinturini has a rubber with deployant that you cut to size, and it comes in several colors.

What are you supposed to do with this? But it has enough holes to accommodate a new born :lol:

Yeah that would suck too.

Terry needs to bite the bullet, take out a second mortgage, and stock straps of every size and color! And I need 21mm options too. Rubber and nato please.

Poke a hole. It sucks, but It's no worse than having to punch one on the small end or having to "cut the tip" as Jeff likes to do. I'm at the second to smallest hole on the leather strap on my Speedy, and it's supposedly 110/70.
