Hey everybody,

I happen to have a very small wrist and most of the Nato bands I see on sale are either 12'' or 11''. The one I currently have is 11'' and it's still a bit big for me. Anyone know anywhere I can get one that is perhaps 9'' or 10''?

Thanks
 
The NATO straps I got from cheapestnatostraps.com measure about 10.5". You can always punch a new hole with a hot awl to make it fit too. Good luck.
 
just measured my Nato style band. It is slightly less than 7 inches from the buckle to the first hole (smallest setting). I got mine at westcoastime (google fu it). I got tired of replacing the plastic bands 2 or 3 times a year. The Nato band from west coast has been going on strong for 5+ years. Changing a plastic band at about $8 or $9 for 5 years comes out to about $40, assuming the band lasts a full year. The Nato band cost me a tad under $20.

I just double the excess length back through the metal rings. Here's a link that shows how it works: http://www.watchfreeks.com/view_topic.php?id=15468&forum_id=49

the extra loop is for doubling back the tail, so just add more holes. a hot wire should do the trick.
