16610LV on strap?
Hey all
I decided - the old bracelet for my 6.25 inch wrist... sucks. I know, blasphemy! Im thinking of getting a vintage looking strap from Jedly or else something else Anyone know what would go well? I just bought a 16mm rolex steel buckle from my dealer, so i just need a strap now! Thanks!

The LV looks great on a black Rubber B. I'd send you a wrist shot but I moved it over to my earlier 16610 for now.

The issue is with the old bracelets theres still one extra link on the six side; the new bracelets solve this issue with more removable links on the six side so a standard strap i dont think would do well - or would it? small wrist guys please shed light if the rubber B or everest would work thanks! |

I own both the Rubber B and Everest, and highly recommend both.

My wrist is 7" in the summer and I had no problem sizing either Rubber B or Everest straps. Imo there's room enough to size down for a 6.5" wrist, and still have the clasp reasonably centered.

I'm happy with Jedly's Horween Shell Cordovan, most comfortable leather strap I own.

I only weigh 150 lbs and I have 4 holes to make it larger and 2 more holes to make it smaller on my Rubber B. Let me add, I bought the Rubber B with the tang buckle not the one where you use your oyster clasp.

So what did you decide?
You can always reverse the bracelet (I've got an LV and a 6.3" wrist) to get the clasp centered ; and fo the length, you can always get an AD cut a link. It is MADE for the metal bracelet! It seems that a grey nato looks great on the LV (no photos, sorry): it reminds the metal colour, and the watch remains two-tone grey and green.

Not a Nato but I love the grey with the LV. Unfortunately this strap is too thick resulting in some wear from the case.
