Am I the only one looking for the AP Diver "Goldilocks" strap?

You know the story about Goldilocks and the 3 Bears?

One bowl of porrdge too cold? One too hot and one just right?

Well, I just got my 4.1 Diver from Lucy today and I love it. I dwarfs my co-worker's Bulove Precisionist and has the look and feel of a watch costing thousands. The hype is not unfounded. It's a killer piece.

My only problem is the strap was designed for a very big wrist. At 7" my wrists are smallish but not not like chicken bones.

The strap has 6 holes / slots for (let's call #1 the "loosest" and #6 the "tightest") I find the #5 too loose, and #6 a touch too tight.

I'm looking the Goldilocks strap that is just right...

Wearing it fully tight is passable but it's one of those issue where if it was 'halfway' between the two it would be perfect.

Does anyone make smaller versions of this identical strap? While all the different materials I've seen and all the different croc, gator are nice, I would like the original rubber.

I have done a ton of searching thru the forum and have not found anything on this issue. If it's out there and I've missed it aplologies.

If anyone has a link or the name of a seller please let me know. I love the rubber and with the quality so good on this 4.1 I think my only option might be gen if AP in fact does make a smaller version.

The watch looks a little goofy tightened up to the last hole and would rather be using the 2nd or 3rd hole on a strap.

Anyone?

ALSO: Is the buckle non-removable on the 4.1 strap?

Does anyone have the APD with a SS bracelet? I've only ever seen the rubber strap yet, I've seen many Offshore chronos w/ SS

Here you go. FYI I had an oem rubber in standard size and I have a 7" wrist, fits just right on hole #2. You can also order an XS oem rubber strap.
