I want to get a croc strap on buckle, but the smallest hole on a regular strap is still slightly to big for my sub 7 inch wrists, its ok in the summer, but in the winter it makes the SA too top heavy for my liking.

With the smaller straps, are these the straps the same length as the regular but with just the holes relocated?
or are the straps acutally shorter?
tbh I prefer a longer tail, so not sure how the tail would sit on a short strap.

Anyone with pics of a short leather/croc strap?

Both sides of the strap are shorter. A regular strap is 200mm, a short is 184mm.

Curious -- I've got a black calf strap for tang buckle, and it's 130/80.

Don't understand that. I bought 10-12 regular straps before my first AD let me know they made shorts, and they are all 120/80. Calf and croco, 22/20s and 20/18s.

It came with a used Navitimer World originally sold 8/07 by Tourneau corporate sales. It says "130", and measures that, too; 24/20, obviously. A perfect fit for me would be between the 2d & 3d holes. I may need a NATO strap.

Now that's :uplaugh:

Maybe 130 is the Extra long. Don't know. Or maybe since it's a 24/22 it has a littler more length because bigger watches - bigger wrists. Don't know.

We wouldn't have all these questions if Breitling just went NATO. That's what is so great about NATOs - one size fits all. :roll:

A quick look at ebay turned up the 130/80 combo in calf, described as "long", and a 120/100 combo in croc, both 24/20.

No wonder it doesn't tangle in the fur.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the 120/100 was for deployant. I was attempting to multitask at the time.

With regards to the shorter strap am I correct in assuming that it's 112-72?

Anyone know the lengths of the two straps for the short version?
Just trying to gauge how the strap will sit.

I'd like to know as well. ...didn't know Breitling made smaller straps and could likely use one. The regular deployment calf strap that was 110/90 just barely fit.

This would be a great place for an AD to jump in with a list or table.
