I use a small brake line and a hammer to make a leather punch. Cut with a dremel, debur it, then give it an edge with dremel grinding tool. You can tap the tip with a hammer to make it whichever oval shape you want. This one has been used.

There are oval shaped punches you can get on the 'bay or Amazon (look for ones made by Tandy). That said, wouldn't you rather the money go towards buying a custom strap?

Eat lots of salt and drink very little water. Your wrists will puff right up.

you can get oval or pill shaped leather punches from ebay. I got one recently but haven't used it yet.

is it a rep strap? if so, its probably rubbish anyway - so buy a custom made strap that fits properly

Wear it on your right hand instead. If you're anything like most men, your right wrist will be mysteriously a bit chunkier
