    Hello all. I know I am not the only one to have this issue so I am seeing if anyone has any good fixes. The leather strap I use on my speedy just doesn't quite fit my wrist, meaning I am in between holes. One hole is just a little to tight for comfort and the next hole down is too lose for me liking. Any suggestions out there or am I just out of luck on the particular strap?

    I think you should just get used to it. Go with the lose side, you should be able to infix your little finger under the strap in the buckle area.

    I hate that... What I end up doing is get the long version of the strap and punch the hole myself.

    Punch a hole in between the two holes that are closest to fitting. VOILA!!!

    Both good options. :thumbsup:

    Save yourself some frustration and don't try the extra hole method on a good strap without a real leather punch. :eek:

    P.S. Pocket knives (even swiss army ones) are not real leather punches, nor are jumbo paper clips.

    It's also worth mentioning that changing the buckle for a shorter or longer one can be useful for micro adjustments.

    Would you be upset if I told you that I enjoy looking at your hysterical avatar so much that half the time I don't remember to read your posts?
