strap sizing

[vdubpower]

im a little unsure if i am getting the right sizes. the greg stevens i got were 130 /80.

my wrist is prob 7.75 inch around. He puts 5 big holes inthe strap and i have been using the middle one. Its not tight, o r loose but fits fine. I then put on the one that came with the pvd watch, i think its a 125/85. on that one, used the last whole to get the watch to fit proper. it comes with 8 holes.
i knw i guess each strap is differnt but this is really confusing when buying a strap as to what to get.
i knwo the ones that come with replica are lik 115 75 and there isnt much remander strap left over to tuck into the holder.

what do u guys do to get right size

Thicker strap requires one size longer to fit the same wrist.

Greg's straps are 5 to 6mm thick as I understand.

The links posted above are a good starting point, but you're really going to have to experiment to see what works best for you. You know where you'd like the buckle to sit on your wrist and if you prefer one or two keepers. The style of buckle can make a difference in the lengths needed as can the thickness of the strap.

Look at the straps you already own to see how they fit and what you'd like different. That should give you a good starting point. There's really no one correct size - it's what you prefer.

Look at one other thing.....

Where the holes start from the pointed tip.....

and 130/85 can fit you the same as a 125/80 if they start theholes further up the strap.....the top of the first hole should be 25mm from the tip.

so, E, if someone has about a 7.75 inch wrist what size of your straps works best

I would say a

130/85 as you want the buckle to be in the center under your wrist and be in the 4th or 5th hole to be able to use the second keeper.
