Just wanted to share a photo comparing the short versus standard sized Milanese strap for the No Time To Die Seamaster. Actually, the left is the short stainless steel version I plugged into my regular Seamaster 300M, but you get the idea.



With a 6.75" wrist, the shorter version fits like a charm. You can see it opens up a bit of space on the wrist by removing the excess on the long side of the band. Already have the titanium short version on order with my local boutique which will make my NTTD 10X better.

Yep have to agree with this. Slightly smaller wrist than the OP and have the shorter version on both my NTTD and Bond 60th

Got my NTTD on the shortened Milanese bracelet for my tiny (fraction over 15cms) wrists and is perfect.

Where are you guys getting the Bond 60th? My AD here in the US says he hasn't seen one yet.

Is the shorter bracelet an option for the stainless model of the 60th watch as it is in the titanium NTTD?

So when you order the short, it's both sides that are shorter not just the side with the holes?

With the shorter strap, are the holes positioned such that (other than the lesser amount of extra strap on the inside), it still "fits"the same? Or, are the holes positioned such that the strap actually fits differently at a corresponding hole (if that makes any sense)?

In other words, if on the longer strap you are in between holes, such that on one hole it fits a little tight and on the next hole it fits a little loose, is there a hole position on the shorter strap that fits just right?

The holes are in a different position. Not only that, but they start closer to the lug end. So the fit is slightly different, but hard to predict if things will be improved if you're in-between holes on the normal size.

Short (Note how the holes start just past the center of the side of my wrist)


Normal (The holes are on the underside of my wrist)

Size M around my 7" wrist. I can definitely wear the size S too but the standard M size for me is just about right.

Unless you have extremely large wrist, say 7.5" and above, M or S would be fine.

Is it normal for the spring bar channels to be significantly different between bracelets? For example, see how much "thicker/flatter" they are in the first photo?

There was a quality issue with the bracelet so they the endlinks thicker.

Oh ok, so the thicker ones are newer? Were the thinner ones less durable or something? I kind alike how svelte they look
