Does anyone else find their strap too long? I have a ~7" wrist. Am I missing something with how to put the strap on?

djaungI have a 7" wrist too, fit perfectly for my 40mm Stowa Flieger. Mine is a Horween shell in natural, so whatever I throw to it, it will just take it and has darken quite a lot from the day I got it.
I presume your watch's lug to lug is too small?

darknight7Thanks DK - I'm using it with my Maratech SR-3 (22mm l2l), and on my watch, and it's just awkward as the strap extends up ~1cm above my wrist.
I haven't actually mounted it yet though due to the extra length.

djaungI think you meant 22mm lug width, Maratec SR-3 is 44.8mm lug-2-lug. Why don't you try to mount further from the buckle, so the buckle will wear closer towards you and the strap end will be shorter. No harm trial and error, but make sure not to pressed to hard on the watch and the leather band, it will create creases and hard to reverse back.
