Hi Lisa and thanks a lot! :-)

I do hope that nobody minds seeing the previous illustrated manual with a lot of useful shots attached. ;-)

Hi everybody!!

This is a very useful guide.
I want to add that if you want to cut your watch strap for more than 2 holes, be carefull not to cut only in one side, you have to cut at one by one side of the strap. Do that if you don't want your watch to turn around your wrist.

Be happy!!

Igor :thumbsup:

Very good point Igor, if you don't remove the extra length equally from both sides your going to end up wearing your watch on your wrist sideways :thumbsup:

Cheers Lisa!
This came in handy when i sized the strap on my F1 Skeleton a couple of weeks ago. Because of this guide, the only tough part I had was staying patient (i nearly took one too many links off, just so I could get it on my wrist quicker).

Thanks Lisa, I have yet to receive my Oris Divers Date but am keen on finding out how to size it. I like the video that Smithy and Warren made as well.
