Shorter Straps?

[Porsche-ah]

Does AP make a short horn back strap? Or any short straps?

I have a 6.5" wrist and I need to have the clasp adjusted to the last hole to fit nice.... The deployment buckle just digs into my wrist (ouch)

I figure having a short strap would bring the deployment buckle closer to the center of my wrist making it much more bearable/comfortable

thanks in advance!

Reverse the straps. That's what I did and the watch fits really well. My wrist is 6.75".

I guess almost everybody reversed the hornback strap.

Yes they do make shorter straps, best if you can email them for availability.

I also reversed the regular straps but ultimately bought the Survivor short hornback and Diver rubber strap and tang buckle. Much happier.

This is good news!
How much did you end up paying for them?

[kilyung]

$184 for rubber strap. Almost $800 for the hornback.

Hi TSW... That would be greatly appreciated!

short standard black rubber strap for the AP deployment
and
Short black horn back for the AP deployment

thanks!

You really, really should try to switch the strap around. Without swapping, I cannot use the OEM deployant because it digs into my arm. Switch it around and voilá, works perfectly well with perfect comfort.

I wore the watch upside down/backwards... It was better but not how I'd like it to be.

If i switch it around it going ot look like my old IWC Big Pilot.... Well I guess that would be "OK"
