Bell & Ross Bands Too Big for my Tiny Arms

So I just recently got my first Bell & Ross (BR03-92 Diver). When I first opened it, I was amazed. It was such a beautiful watch, and the presentation was on point. I loved how the dive watch came in a water proof Pelican Case. It looked great! Plus it had additional straps (5 total) that all looked really good too. Then I tried it on and even with the strap set to the smallest setting, it was still looser than my liking for my little 6.5 inch wrist. I realized it was the same case for all of the other straps as well, except for the bright orange velcro strap. Luckily I can make that one fit how I like. I still wear it with other straps too since I love the watch and it's not too loose to bother me too much. I just prefer mine to be a bit tighter. I was a bit disappointed, but then again, maybe I should just have normal man wrists and this wouldn't happen.

If it's only a small amount of looseness, try what I do to get a perfect fit for leather straps. Buy a pack of moleskin padding and cut strips which you can stick on the underside of your watch straps. It stick really well, is super comfortable and can make all the difference to make the watch fit better. Best thing is that it's cheap and invisible when worn, too.

That is actually an amazing idea. Thank you very much. Do you know if it peels off clean so that it doesn't affect the re-sale value?

Never tried, but I'm sure you could easily clean sticky residue up with soap & water? Maybe test it on a cheap strap first and see how it goes.

Hey there, beautiful watch, congrats. Bell & Ross actually sells short versions of their straps . Replacements aren’t cheap unfortunately, but at least the standard editions (black rubber,etc) are sold in both normal and short versions. If memory serves, I paid $3XX for a rubber strap. Check it out with an authorized dealer.

This is actually rather smart!
