6.5" wrist? quick question for ya. do they make different size straps from the factory? im not to crazy about the stock one on the 372 anyway, but i cant even use the stock one because of my wrist size. im pretty sure i was on the last hole (8" flat wrist). can they order it with a bigger strap? or am i just on my own getting aftermarket anyway?

127 and a 372!? Awesome combo...you can't go wrong with those two. But -- how do you decide which you are going to wear when you get in the AM!?

I'm on the very first hole for my 6.5" wrist - I probably need a XS. You can get XL OEM straps. They're extremely nice quality but there are so many great straps for less.

eBay the OEM straps. With that money you should be able to buy a few aftermarket straps

oops, i wasnt looking to purchase an oem strap, i was wondering if i bought the watch they would get the right strap for me for in exchange for the unworn one that it comes with?

its not that big of a deal, because when i do get a pam one day i have been eye balling a ton of straps.... :)

As long as you negotiate a strap exchange from the start, it shouldn't be a problem.

I tried on the 111 and the 112 last night, and fitment-wise, the OEM strap was just a little off for me. I would be between the second-to-last and third-to-last holes on the strap, and that would drive me crazy.
