(And what means "OCD")
OCD is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, the idea that everything must line up “just right”
There's more to OCD as a disorder, and there are more than just one symptom before it is characterized as a disorder.
But order and symmetry is what triggers me
I used a crafts knife to cut the strap and a lighter to melt the nylon and then press it even

And I also made an epic job and that's the main reason you can't see that the strap was modified

Removing the bracelet from the citizen excalibur is a pain in the butt, so, norecentpictures of the watch on the NATO

And can perfect it,
by changing the title to Synthetic NATO straps ( Κοντυμα )Στάλθηκε από: Johan-Mani
« στις: Σεπτέμβριος 02, 2020, 08:47:24 πμ »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 !

Thank you Giorgos, for the constructive comment !!

« στις: Σεπτέμβριος 01, 2020, 14:25:27 μμ »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!

I looked for 19mm straps and some straps to replace the metalband from my Orient Mako II and leatherband from my Smiths PRS36:
To heavy/hot in summer.
Due to corona issues the delivery took about 6 weeks! (from Sweden)
3 of them need to be shorten! Later more about this...
