Help finding a "shorter" black NATO

Fellas, need a bit of help from the NATO strap wearers here. I have a NATO that is starting to show it's age that I really like. It came with a cheap watch I bought while I was younger, so I don't know the brand, etc.

It's your typical black NATO, but it's only 10", so you don't have to do the "fold over" of the excess. The hardware is thinner or tighter so as to keep the end of the strap fast, w/o needing the extra thickness of the fold over.

Lastly, the buckle is far enough away from the top lug to place it under the wrist when fastened, rather than on the side, as is the case with some of Corvus' offerings.

Any suggestions fellas? I'd prefer not to have to cut and burn nylon on a strap I'm going to wear a Rolex Exp I on

What your Explorer needs is a perlon strap...
