Just a note of warning. The small straps are quite a bit smaller than standard, I had mine replaced and the clasp now sits in the 3rd hole of the strap but the rest of the strap doesn't reach the 2nd loop.

Re: strap replacement

I'm not really a watch collector, so buying tools to make alterations doesn't come into it. From my point of view it is just like returning a faulty electrical item for a new one.

Re: strap replacement

Not sure about returning or exchanging but I'd be interested in know what they say to you as I'm trying to decide which strap size to go for myself. Would you say they are much too big?

strap replacement
