How to Shorten a Nato / Zulu Watch Band: http://youtu.be/Cx31V1_pQKQ

Came across this, thought it was genius and that it may prove useful to folks with smaller wrists.

Nice. Thanks.

The Rolex forum is for.....Rolex. That's why we have other forums.

Not noticing this thread was moved I recreated it in the non-rolex forum. Not sure how to delete this one. Sorry for the confusion.

Did this a few years ago to a couple of my straps. Works fine but I have a couple of suggestions from my experiences. 1.) Don't use a zippo to re-melt the end. It leaves a lot of black carbon deposits on the end. A little unsightly. Use a torch type lighter or like I did a soldering iron. 2.) Apply heat source lightly and sparingly. You'll have a smoother finish to the end.

If they are that easy to shorten then why don't they just make them longer so they fit my damn 8" wrist better?!

Please post a video on how to lengthen them!
