Watches to wear with your flight jackets...

I do have small wrists I guess. But they’re not limp

A guy that I know from a local watch collector's club always refers to his 8" wrists as "man sized" (I guess mine are supposed to be girl sized). I just don't have the heart to correct him by telling him that his are technically "chronic masturbator" sized wrists.

Yeah that’s pretty big. I’ve never actually measured mine but comparing those measurements you posted compared to my nos strap, it wouldn’t work. Whatever size these nos straps are, they’re about perfect for me. The end of the strap just makes it through the second band keeper.

That's exactly how they fit me as well.

Ball Watch Roadmaster Pilot GMT. I work for the railroad, so it seems kinda fitting (Ball started as a result of a train wreck blamed on a timing error).

Just threw on one of my other nos bands. There doesn’t seem to be anything indicating a size. But for reference, the first hole is 2 inches from the pin.View attachment 168669

That's 2/8" closer than mine, which strangely perhaps is exactly where I need that hole, although the buckle side looks shorter than mine too, so I maybe would go to the second hole to the lug, which would be great! Cheers Pa12
