Can anyone give me some advice? I’m really interested in buying a vintage omega dynamic geneve off of eBay but I’m aware that none will fit my 8 inch wrist. When I look up aftermarket straps, I never see any that accommodate an 8 inch wrist…. Along with a link to a strap, do I need to find a ring for the back of the case? If you can’t tell, I’m a bit lost in this process but would love some help!!

Seems like you will have no alternative but to get a custom made leather strap ...

Agreed. I don't think they made them that big! Fortunately, they are actually quite easy to make, and plenty of Etsy sellers make them.

I'd suggest finding someone who seems to make/sell them in a material that you like, then just have them make one for you in a bigger size!

I did a quick look... this one might be close? :

215mm is 8.5" long. Buckle is going to add 3/8, and all of that probably gets you at least to the last pin hole.

None other advertise the length, but you might want to ask any of the sellers!

As far as 'needing a ring', the strap itself has a circular cutout (see the picture). There is a screw-on-ring(looks like a screw on caseback, except it doesn't have the center piece obviously) that holds the strap or bracelet to the case that you'd remove, put the strap in place, and tighten it back down.

See this photo here. The ring unscrews, and the strap/bracelet is sandwiched between it and the case (pictured lower center). You can see the center ring on the bracelet.

I bought a few straps for mine when I first bought it. I will measure one tonight and let you know the full length.
They have the hole like the bracelet so it will be the full length on the wrist
