116519 Daytona Strap Clasp Question - Please help

I have the original strap and it is adjusted as tight as it will go, last hole. It is still a bit loose on my wrist. My wrist is average size. Any suggestions how to make it tighter without changing the strap?

Please see photos.

Many thanks.

You cannnot. Rolex makes a short strap specifically for this purpose. Contact your AD to get one.

When I was younger, and if my pants were really loose, I would just use suspenders...

It was just an idea...

If you have the normal strap (not an XL variant), and you cannot adjust it to fit, your wrist is very small. Other than lifting weights or wearing a women's watch you might consider getting an aftermarket strap. There are many excellent providers out there. Many here favor Everest.

You can go direct to Rolex for a short strap, or you can get one custom made (ABP Paris comes to mind)

Rubber B is also a popular option, and it will look great on the WG watch.

Thanks.

I just received the short strap and used the shorter 6 o'clock. Perfect now and I am in the center hole on the clasp. Thanks!
