How to Trim Your Nylon Strap to Master the Illusive Anatomy of the Perfect Fit - Watch and Learn #64

Today we will tackle the task of trimming your nylon watch strap so that it's a perfect fit. No more of that little tab sticking out that you have to fold into the buckle. We hope you enjoy it!

Thank you for watching.

It's easier if you use a key ring. Slip the strap into the key ring and there's no need to clamp. The spring pressure of the ring holds it in place.

Just the tip I needed, I have this problem. I'm on it now. I am going more towards nylon straps these days, they are easy on the wrist. I do enjoy the watch and learn videos. Thank you for your time.

Well done. Keep these coming. Your never to old to learn.

That is the very band I wear on my Bertucci's. Love the colors.

Excellent. What I learned. 1. Always use a Harbor Freight clamp. 2. Pay up your fire insurance. 3. Keep a box of Band-Aids (TM?) nearby. Fill up 9 times at Texaco, with the 10th you get a company watch. 😉 Thanks for a useful video.

Brilliant! I'll be doing this to my rubber diver strap too.

I just got my first few NATO straps. I knew I could count on you for a watch and learn!! Glad you do what you do!

Hey, Mark. This worked like a charm. Great pro tip! Thank you.

I just learned about your channel after watching you guest on The Urban Gentry. You do a nice job reviewing watches and don't come off like a snob like some other YouTubers. Keep up the great work.

Years I've been folding it back. Thank you!

Just fixed an unraveling end on a NATO. Didn't even have to cut it down. Just resealed it with a lighter wand. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for advice Mark. Just encountered that problem today and wasn’t sure what would be best way to shorten strap without leaving frayed edge. All perfect now.

We do so love your watch and learn videos. Thanks Marc. :-)

Always informative. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Marc. Great video again. Personal taste, but I prefer to take all the metal ‘rings’ on a NATO around to the back of the strap. As you know, there are a couple of ways that you can set up and wear a NATO and prefer them all out of sight at the back.

I became addicted to your channel after watching your review on the Marathon watches (just got my TSAR in the mail from you guys today) Thanks for the info because I do have NATO straps on the way for this watch too

I really like the folded look, keeps everything tidy and neat

I use a mini torch in the process rather than a lighter. It flash-fuses the end and gives a nice smooth glossy surface, and it doesn’t EVER fray. Not so great for a light coloured strap, but great on anything darker than grey.
