Hi guys, my Navitimer just arrived, but the leather strap + buckle are too big for my 5.7 inch wrist. as the side that connect to the buckle are not adjustable like the metal bracelet does. do you guys know if Breitling can resize the leather strap to fit a small wrist, also can they bend the buckle for more curvy fit for a small wrist? |

You need to replace the strap with the short version - 10mm shorter on each side. Your AD can order it and should swap it out for you as the other strap is new. |

Don't be surprised if your AD wants some money to exchange the strap. In the USA, the short strap is an additional $50. The long version (10mm longer on each side) is also available at an additional $50. It's not the amount of leather. It's because it is a "special" size with limited production. Good luck! I hope you can convince them to swap it for free. |

oh ok, could anybody provide the actual length indicated on a extra small strap with deployant? i called the korean Distributor and they dont speak good english, all he explained is that the extra small strap is 15cm, I dont know how he's measuring it. so it would be better if I know what is indicated on the extra small strap to compare to the strap I have. |

As I already said the small one is 10mm shorter on each side. If you look at the back of the one you have then you will see that it is marked 110 on one side and 90 on the other - i.e. 110mm and 90mm. So the short is 100mm and 80mm. |
