...tight and/or loose do you like to wear your straps?

MarJnK · 22 October 2009, 09:52 AM

Loose enough that the watch can move around and not stick to my wrist, but tight enough that it doesn't rotate around.

Nick1959 · 22 October 2009, 10:38 AM

the tri I usually have is lose enough to have my index finger go through

emagni · 22 October 2009, 11:30 AM

At first loose but now I find that by wearing it a tid tighter it stretches the strap over time and makes a perfect fit.

When I am relaxed I can fit a pinky snugly under the clasp. When I am working out or sweating my pinky fits rather tightly. Perfect for me.

bryan...sounds like you are having a hard time finding the perfect strap...I am in the same boat...I had to send my Greg Stevens back and is now awaiting a custom one..

I like it loose enough to fit a pinky...

B. Doggy · 22 October 2009, 10:38 PM

No, I think I've the strap that works for me. I was just curious what other did.

On the softer straps, tighter, on the old vintage tough as nails leather looser, but never to where it could rotate around my wrist.

All my straps are technically vintage being that they're WWII AMMOS. I just found a vendor and size that does me prefect.

Joey_V · 23 October 2009, 01:12 PM

Bryan,

Can you send me info on your new found vendor?

Thanks bud.

Pinky or index space tight,but no rotation of watch around the wrist.Colder weather tighter and in summer less tight.Also depends on the softness and thickness of the leather and on the bracelet,free movement on the wrist.

See above for the vendor.

He's not too new for me, but I just realized that KEV's straps work best for my particular wrist. I'm am incredibly anal though.

You should keep in mind that there ar plenty of other great strap makers out there.

Ranfni · 24 October 2009, 06:51 AM

what I found is the straps fit my wrist better when I don't use the deployant clasp...
