Short Strap options

[AHG]

I finally got my first Patek. A 5230G. Unfortunately, the standard strap is too large, and I'm awaiting the short strap to be sent from Patek. Just curious, aside from buying from Patek in the future, where else do members get quality alligator straps (with a short option or equivalent) that are less pricey than Patek. I'd like to play with some colors. For example Hodinkee has a reasonably priced option but only in regular sizes. I don't know how that compares to Patek's sizing. With most brands I'm fine with the strap on the second to last or sometimes last hole, but just not Patek.

Camille Fournet - they make the straps for Patek and Lange (but their name/logo aren't on the strap).

You can custom make a strap on the CF website, can choose between several length selections. They also have ready-made straps but do not come in a short length.

Usually takes 4-5 weeks for them to deliver a custom made strap to Hong Kong, I have ordered from them several times in the past 24 months.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll check both out.

I’ve been satisfied with DeLugs and Monstraps. Reasonably priced and good craftsmanship. Excellent watch, BTW.
