Someone please tell me where to find a strap! I'm dying that I can't wear my JLC. Do you guys, and gals, think that punching new holes in the strap is reasonable?

What's reasonable?
-Figure out what size you need, search for the oem XS strap size (many manufacturer's have this, I don't know if all do)
-Search eBay
-Have one of the many strap makers available here make one for you

Gorgeous watch for this Zenith Pilot type 20, and very nice pic.

Bronzo model seems to be the best one...

Santos 100, 33mm on a 5,7" wrist. not to bad eh

You have a 5.7 wrist? No way. Lol
Pm me what other reps you have please. I have the exact same size wrist.
Back to the Cartier Santos, I am quite sure the 38mm will sit well on a real 5.7 wrist.

Looks like a 346 to me. I have a pic of mine if you look
Yup I guess it's 346 then, it's a lovely pam to be worn and quite dressy too.. love the look on it. :)

Have a great morning ahead!

yeah the Santos 38mm looks alright but it feels too big for me hahah too much presence and bulk. i do have other watches, but i generally dont go bigger than 42mm, and my perfect size is watches in the 41mm range such as the Rolex sea dweller and Patek aquanaut. Lots of great watches out there, but it seems we got the curse of the small wrist :laugh:.

Try the AP 15400 and any 42mm AP Roo (change out to a custom make leather straps without insert). But you might find them too big if 38mm Cartier is not your cup of tea. I also have some 44mm including PAM. They however, are good fits.

Nice! I thought it was 38mm for a minite!

hahaha maybe my small wrist made the watch look bigger. it looks good, but the problem with Santos 33mm is that my girlfriend wants to borrow it all the time :D. the funny thing is she wears it like i wore the 38mm one

its just my preference i think hahaha, I traded my 15400 to a 15300 but it didnt feel that much smaller either because of the shape like the Santos. Yeah, i agree on the PAM even though its 44mm it still looks good.
