AP Elephant Small Strap

Ordering an Elephant tomorrow, but have 6" wrist. Need a smaller strap than the stock one.

Better to add an extra hole to the stock one or order a small strap? Where would I go about ordering a smaller strap from? Any recommendations?

Your AP dealer should be able to order. I got one for my Royal Oak offshore chrono. I think it took an extra week after i took delivery on the watch. You can also add an extra hole. You can buy watch hole device but you need to make sure you can get the right size and shape. The tail will be a little long but otherwise I did this with one of my non-AP pieces once

Get the short strap... Some guys mix the short and reg strap to get the perfect fit.

better get the short strap because once you add an extra hole , when you wear it on your wrist you will probably see the tail of the other long side come out over the watch , just like always see that style on panerai .

Can't see those pics unfortunately.

The regular strap is almost perfect, just need an extra hole about a half notch above the last one. The small should be perfect.
