If you have a wrist smaller than 6.5" and own the Diver, do you have it on e short rubber strap or is the standard rubber strap ok? Would love to see pics of how each fit on the wrist by the buckle side.

Thanks.

Which hole are you using on the strap?

Anyone know if its possible to get the shorter strap when buying it or do they all come with the standard one and you must purchase the shorter one separatedly?

h999r · 20 June 2013, 01:18 PM

Im using the first hole one. Its all good.

simongpaez · 20 June 2013, 01:32 PM

I am 6.5 and I had to orderan XS strap.

ray0750 · 20 June 2013, 01:47 PM

i am 6.75'' and i am using the first hole of standard strap..
i think i will order another GP strap in the shorter version.

MCV · 20 June 2013, 01:57 PM

I have a 6.75 wrist, wearing the standard length rubber strap on the second hole. Works fine.

gummy · 20 June 2013, 02:46 PM

they all come standard if i remember correctly...

i would order a xs strap for best fit...

kilyung · 20 June 2013, 04:36 PM

Get the XS strap. You may need to mix it up with the Regular strap to get the perfect fit but it'll be worth it.

What do you mean by mix it up with the standard one?

One end from each strap.

s14roller · 20 June 2013, 10:54 PM

The short will feel better...

I have a 6.5in wrist and on a standard strap, I use the first hole and it's OK...if you are under 6.5, then it will be loose for sure.

What they said. I use the keeper side from the XS and hole side from the REG. fits PERFECTLY centered with space to tighten/loosen the strap as necessary. Not bad for $184.

thsiao · 21 June 2013, 09:07 AM

Thanks for the replies guys... yes at $184 it is pretty reasonable... unlike the IWC Aquatimer rubber strap that is like $375, granted it has a "quick release system" but still... and not to mention that I just paid $275 for a TAG Aquaracer rubber strap with tang buckle.

Now all I need is an AP Diver and then a xs rubber strap :).

SMD · 21 June 2013, 09:42 AM

Keep in mind, if you want an AP rubber strap with the tang buckle it will be much more than $184. $184 is solely for the rubber.

The Diver comes with the buckle already.

wisguy · 21 June 2013, 11:46 AM

Don't rush to get the XS strap, use it for a while first.

I have a small wrist and the fit was just fine (when I had it), it was centered and only needed the last hole on very cold days.

Andrés G · 21 June 2013, 12:02 PM

I have a 6.5 - 6.75" wrist, depending on the weather. The XS strap fits my wrist much better than the regular. It looks like this:

shnxx · 21 June 2013, 12:43 PM

that looks like a pretty good fit!

thumbs up

SMD · 21 June 2013, 09:13 PM

No kidding, but he was comparing apples and oranges when comparing prices. That was the only point.

thsiao · 11 August 2013, 01:17 PM

Just following up on this thread... I finally got the Diver and it looks like I will be needing the short strap. With the regular strap, if I wear it on the first hole it feels a bit tight. When wearing it on the second one it feels loose. Hopefully the short version will give me the perfect fit.

thsiao · 17 August 2013, 05:40 AM

So I finally got the strap yesterday and ended up using the XS for the buckle side and the STD on the hole side. Fits much better now! So happy...

Congrats Thsiao!

Any pics?

I'm a 6.5 as well, would like to see more pics of the diver on similar size as me.

Thanks.
