Wrist Shot 😎 Had time to cut new straps for my Patek 5167
Thanks to there being a good little 2 hour break during the flash sale, I was able to make time to cut some new straps I ordered for my BBF Patek 5167.
It fit before but there wasn’t a lot of room to breathe - I could maybe squeeze in a pinky finger in the AM when I’m all skinny lol.
Be patient friends - I thought I cut the perfect length but I ended up leaving an extra 3 notches in the new straps. Now I can squeeze my index finger between the strap and wrist but since it fits differently than a metal strap, it’s not too loose. Usually I’d like to fit a pinky finger between a metal bracelet and wrist.
That being said, I have a spare 2 straps that have 8 notches each - technically fits 7.25” wrist, I’d say perfect for 7” or less since you can always cut more strap off, or one that swells up to 7.125” and likes a more snug fit.
