How to make AP XS strap !

[kazn]

Hi all, just thought I'd share this to all my small wrist AP loving friends.

One thing that annoyed me lotds was that only JF has XS straps and they are not readily mountable to other makes of AP. There was a tutorial here and the guy was using chisel and blade to do the extra hole - I've tried that and it never look nice , plus it's not easy to do. (Got to have steady hand...etc)

I've end up getting a chisel on eBay and they work wonders! Only a few dollars and all you need is to place the strap against a hard concrete surface, line the hole puncher up, and hammer it down 2-3 times ! DONE!! Perfect hole !

Now I make every strap XS [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1]

And here is my noob AP strap with last hole punched

Looks nice. I found the eBay listing. Which size tool did you use? Thanks.

So 6mm seems to be the correct size. The hole I had is ever so slightly bigger than the factory holes .

I punch 7.5mm holes on 24mm tapered straps (diver, 44mm ROO) and 5.5mm holes on the 20mm straps (SIHH 2014 models)
