Deployants often NOT good for small wrists
In Response To: Re: Where to find straps ()

: Does Hirsch have a website?

Yes, but is has very little detail.

: strap for my Speedy Auto-Date, but I have a
: very small 5.2inch wrist. I wonder if the
: straps and deployant buckle would be too
: long.

You can usually buy straps in 'short' sizes. But I'd pass on the deployants that fit regular straps--they go uncomfortably too far up the inner side of the wrist on smaller wrists.

: Also, would you know where I can find the
: double ridge strap that I see so much of in
: pictures posted here?

Double ridged straps are fairly common and should be found at most watch dealers--though the short versions may be special order.
