Bund strap
So I got a bund strap cause I really like the style, but i find it looks so awkward on my 6” wrist the way it flares out on the sides. Anyone else have a small wrist and it works for you… maybe it’s just a self confidence thing, but it’s like I’m wear a 50mm plus watch.

I like um but they definitely only seem to work for a select few. On the wrong watch and it's just strait hideous. I think yours matches really well, takes a little getting use to😉
Yes, it depends on your wrist size, but also case size of the watch. This looks like a 40mm to me, it would work better with a 38mm case (the 1963 comes also in 38mm I think). For a bund strap you have to take a bit off the case size of your normal upper bound for case sizes.
The watch looks great on the strap and sits on the ‘bund’ nicely. I find that whenever I have been wearing mine everything else feels a bit skinny on my wrist. Is the strap broken in yet?

This one is the 38mm. I guess my assumption is right in thinking it makes a watch look bigger than it is lol.

It’s not broken in yet, so I guess I’m pre- mature on my thoughts. I was just going on first impression.
I think it looks great! I was wearing a bund today. this is a 40mm Vario 1918
You‘re good 👍
I have a bund strap for my chrono. I have a 6.75" wrist and it sits nicely.
had to post this one as well, Bulova Surfboard w/ Vario Bund strap
It is not because of smaller wrist. It's the type of bund construction. There's few things about that bund strap that makes it fit awkward. First, the bund have slits cut into it rather than stitched on keepers, second, the strap is rather thick, it looks like it is padded, and on top of that the bund itself is is quite thick.
The strap posted by MinnKonaMike solves all of the above.
I think it looks good.But how it feels is important, and only you know that.
