Punching holes in your leather straps.

Maybe everyone has done this already, but its a first for me. With an eight inch wrist, I'm usually near the end of the holes when strapping up. Bought an extra-long strap from WatchPrince this week, and it was actually too long. In the last hole it was still loose on my wrist. So I picked up a leather punch at Lowes ($10), and punched another hole myself. The one I bought can punch holes from 2mm to 4.5mm, simply turn the wheel to the size you want. I practiced on an old worn strap and got better results punching through the back of the strap. This one only does round holes but it works for me.

in straps before..but it's still something that I've wanted to know
