My wife should be receiving her watch today (SKX013), and I'm looking for recommendations for a strap. I'm thinking 3 ring Zulu, but am open to suggestions. She has a small wrist, so nothing too bulky...Ideas?

The 'Big Three' from Dagaz or Yobokies Timmy, couple of other decent options there as well, including Tropic I think.

I allways make sure she can't leave the kitchen with it, so never longer than 2 meter yes1.gif Serious: take a nato in stead of a Zulu, nato's hardware is way more comfortable and flatter imho.

Problem with the nato is, she is not a fan of the folding back & forth of the strap...just something simple.

I'd go with a bracelet for that one - some of them have a small enough clasp and enough removable enough links to fit a small wrist.
My wife's wrist is extremely small and she wears a Sinn on original bracelet (and it fits not flops).
For leather, I've used AJ Raefields a few times.

Unfortunately, she doesn't want a bracelet, at least she says she doesn't.

What about one of these mate . . . from HIRSCH Watch Straps - Hirsch Straps . . . they have a decent selection of cool colours and other styles that the chicky babes might enjoy as well in 'waterproof and sport'.  |

Problem is, men's straps are going to be way too long.

Yeah, I agree, I think the vents will look weird on her tiny wrist.

Something simple, flat, restrained.

Nowadays I am using either leather straps (Which I make) or two ring Zulu straps despite being used to prefer SS bracelets.
How does she like the leather straps? If she does, then she may receive a surprise gift chinathumbsup.gif.
