AP Hornback Short Strap Question

Trying to figure out if the short strap will work with my small girly wrists. (6.5" wrist)

I can't wear the standard size strap at the smallest hole without the deployment being very uncomfortable. I also don't want to flip the strap around (I think it looks funny)

Anyone know the length of the AP hornback short straps(both sections)?
About to order one from the NYC boutique.

thanks in advance!

I got the regular AND short Survivor Hornback straps (yes, they're almost $800 each) in order to get the perfect fit with a Survivor buckle vs deployant.

Short strap should work out great for you.

Hi, fyi, I just changed mine from a regular to short length. The short is 5.6cm/11cm while reular is 7cm/11cm. I can now pin the third last hole on the short one and moving the clasp backwards so that the curvature follow nicely on my thin wrist. I can now wear it very comfortably without a problem.

Wouldn't a shorter strap on deployment have it bite in even deeper? My wrist is also 6.5 and I found if I wore it one hole loose, it was pretty comfortable.
