LOOKING: Recommendation for FKM Straps for small wrist
Hi Watch Enthusiasts,
Im looking for recommendations for a plain FKM Strap similar to above (with pointed ends) for smaller wrists. I found many even in Amazon along with other dealers who sell standard (125-75mm) straps unfortunately they are too big for my 150cm (5.5 inches) wrist.
I’m looking for something of 105-75mm size FKM straps. I tried cutting the straps unfortunately they are not usable with my cutting skills. I have also tried “Cut to your size” straps but I like the look of the straps where the tip of the strap is visible similar to the one from FP Journe Elegante.
Any Leads here would be helpful for me and others who are in same search.
Cheers,
Venka

I am not aware of any short FKM straps but Hirsch makes a short plain strap from natural rubber. It is more expensive than silicone (from say Barton which comes in short) or AliExpress FKM straps (which don't come in short).

Thanks for the feedback, I’m aware of this strap. Unfortunately they are not with pointed ends but flat ones.

Ah, I see that's what you mean. Maybe a rubberised leather strap then? These can be made with pointy ends. If it's only for the looks.
Jean Rousseau I believe makes them even without leather so they can be submerged (that is rubber straps which are cut, padded and finished just like leather) but they are very expensive and I don't like them.
Maybe try bringing a "raw" strap like this (https://www.watchgecko.com/products/bonetto-cinturini-270-rubber-divers-watch-strap-grey) to a leather worker and ask them to punch holes and cut it at the ends for you. They might not understand what is going on but for a small fee they will probably do it 😀 they should have tools and skills to do so and it might look clean.
