Cartier Santos for a sub 6 inches wrist

[lolo1972sg]

Hi Santos experts,
I am now contemplating getting a Santos 100 ultimate but I have a super small wrists (about 5.6inches, 14.7cm).
I am wondering is there any one here with a similar small wrist (sub 6 inches) and if yes, whether you could share your experience on the following points:
1) which version are you having (eg: the 33mm or 38 mm, bracelet or straps, OEM straps or rep straps or custom make rep straps)?
2) how does the watch sit on your wrist (wrap well, sit flat or gaps below the lugs)?
3) any advice on what to look out for when changing the straps (i see some posts of folks having some difficulties on changing the straps?)
4) how many extra holes do you need to punch on the original rep strap to fit your wrists.

Thanks and any advice on the above would be much appreciated. Cheers.

And BTW, what would be the dimensions (near to lugs especially) to provide to strap makers if i want to go for custom make straps.
Thanks

1. My wrists are around 6". I got the 38mm with strap. Made custom strap with rep lugs. Custom strap broke when rep lug split. Got OEM and couldn't be happier.
2. Wraps well. No gaps with either rep, custom or OEM straps.
3. Use painters tape to protect case. Unscrew. Use toothpick to push out the pin.
4. Strap design doesn't use holes. You tuck in the ends of the strap to fit your wrist.

I have the Santos 38 mm with strap and my wrist is 6.5". It's very comfortable.

Never changed the strap, still have the one that came with the watch.
