Normally that would set you back another $35-50.

I find that hole spacing is the key to a good fit. I got my Strap Works Navy on blue stitch yesterday and the hole spacing isn't quite 100% perfect (for me). Since my wrist expands in the warmer months, I know it'll be a good fit in the summer, but right now it's either too tight or a tad too loose.

Another really nice strap worth looking at is Mario Paci from timeconnection.com. I have an MP6, which is a waterproof calf and it's just a great strap. Hole positioning is perfect for me. I probably wear this one the msot right now. MPs are pricey BNIB (like US$200) but can be picked up regularly for much less on viapaneristi.com.

At the moment the hole spacing on the CH is perfect, but that will change as the strap wears in, now the Gabo is more worn in, and the drunk cobbler (put those daft holes just in the right place) fits like a glove..

I changed the CH buckle for the one you sent (which I prefer) CH buckle too big but give it a month and the CH strap on the Atomic buckle will be good, the "perfect match" ??
