Just take some straps you have worn and measure the buckle part of the straps total length and measure the distance of the hole on the other side you use for your wrist.You can then tell the strapmaker where to punch the holes.You have to allow for differences in leather thickness and that the strap you order may not be exactly measure eg. 80mm,it may be say,77mm or 84mm.You have to allow for slight deviation in lengths.

I love the minimal amount of holes.
