Leather strap advice

[Heathwood]

Hi folks,

I'm looking to purchase a replacement strap for my Tissot V8 but could do with a bit of advice with strap lengths.

Currently my leather strap is 11cm tongue side and 7cm buckle side. Looking at replacement straps, they seem noticeably longer than this. This may be a problem as my wrists are only 6.75 inches and I'm on the second smallest hole on my current strap.

Does it sound like I'll need a custom strap? As for style (in case it's relevant to any responses) I'm thinking along the lines of a Hirsch Liberty (only available as a 120/80 I think) in brown / golden brown.

Budget is ideally no more than £30 which rather excludes customs I guess. If anyone could give me an idea of options / best places to look, it would be much appreciated (sorry for the novice questions).

Why not try here chap his straps are good even the padded leather budget straps are well recommended.

I think the Timefactors straps are very good value for money, the rally strap would wear well on a V8 IMO. A third of your budget too!
