Xaxaxaxaxaxxa true story

So, I made a cut around the 23 mark, but the strap is black and it's not easy to see where the cut is
(Κάντε κλικ εδώ να εμφανιστεί η φωτογραφία.)

And I also made an epic job and that's the main reason you can't see that the strap was modified 
(Κάντε κλικ εδώ να εμφανιστεί η φωτογραφία.)
 

Removing the bracelet from the citizen excalibur is a pain in the butt, so, no recent pictures of the watch on the NATO 

This is a very clean cut, Wagner. What method do you use to melt it?
(And what means "OCD" )

And can perfect it,  by changing the title to Synthetic NATO straps ( Κοντυμα )

Oikonikos, please can you change it ?  I see not how to do it ...   Johan

This is exactly what I did with my only NATO strap
Because it was way too short, the buckle would never reach bottom side of the wrist.
I removed the part of the strap that goes to watch lugs and turned it into a single pass.

Now I can place the watch exactly where it needs to be on the strap, so the buckle is exactly where it doesn't trigger my OCD 
The part where you trim the end of the strap, in order to shorten it, was pretty neat!

Well done, Wagner669 !

....Oikonikos is kindly requested, to correct the translation of  (συντομεύστε), which is actually the phrase for .....please be quick, and replace it, with the correct for this act / procedure, which is shortening - i.e. in Greek, κόντυμα. 

Very nice straps.
Why you made it single pass ?

Because:

I remove the inner strap because it is in fact useless: should only keep the watch in place without moving up or down the strap.
But even without this extra inner strap: the watch moves maybe 1-3 mm, so no problem.

Secondly: the watch is less thick up the wrist!

Johan

Here the 20 mm and 22mm adjustments!

Maybe this is useful for som GWF members!

But all adjustments on your own risk! (FIRST: try your skills on an OLD Nato strap!)

Finally: This is my own taste: others still prefer long straps they "return, others like double straps ... each his choice!
