Alteration of watch straps

[psee]

As my wrists are relatively slim, many of the OEM watch straps that came with my watches are too long for my wrists ... My THG contact furnished me with a contact (near Geylang) for alteration of straps but I have misplaced the info. Appreciate if any of the bros here could share their contact(s) and experiences (including approximate prices, turnaround time, etc.) for such watch strap alteration services. Thks

Why not just buy short straps?
Altering will never be as good as the orignal.

Thks for sharing. Will check out Chan Yew soon. All my watches are currently SHORT straps or custom-made straps but just thought I should try to put the numerous sets of regular straps that I have to use ...

Still have quite a few sets of 'standard' straps which come with my watches when I bought them ...

Side track, have you tried Chan Yew yet? my AD from WoS also recommend them, but haven got a chance to go there yet to take a look.

Wonder what the prices are tho.

'Shortened' a set of Glashuette Original Alligator straps there and am happy with the results. Cost $20 for each side of the strap and turnaround time was 1 week.

Hope the above helps.
