So as predicted I got the new spitfire Mark IWC

I have to say that I always wanted a Mark to work on my wrist but the 41mm case and long lugs never really worked. I'm also not much of a nato guy but figured if I was to try it this is the perfect model for it. Overall I am happy with this piece. Accuracy is +1 over 24 hours which is awesome. I am skeptical of new movements but this is good in my eyes.

Now the question??? Do I leave the strap tail as is OR tuck in the access portion into the keeper?

I cut away the to long part of fabric straps. Take a small coin that fits the width of the strap and use it as model to cut the end of in a round way or semi circle. Than take a plier to

hold the coin and the end of the cut of strap together and use a ligther or flame the heat/burn of the end so it melts in a nice shape, Bespoke strap size.
