Here's the trick...
take the strap off and invert it, so that it folds "up" the way a bracelet would. This is how JLC used to mount them, but changed in '02/'03. The new way rides on the bone behind the thumb. The only minor downside will be that the logo will be upside-down (big whoop!). You'll find it tons more comfortable.

Thank everyone....
I've tried to flip it without success. I'm going to bite the bullet and call Seth. Thanks for all the input. Scans to follow....
Clasp should be centered to the watch case...
If you have a narrow wrist, you may need a new strap with customized dimensions....
This is pic of my original JLC strap...
You will notice the clasp position is too far from the center....
Well, I would break the consensus
I have both of these folds, the simple and the double... I much prefer the single to the double, as I find it more comfortable, and the metal of the fold is matching with the metal of the case of your watch. For example, if you have a platinum watch, the ...
I've had both..........
Single fold and double fold and without a doubt I prefer the double fold I have now on my MUT. For me it is far more comfortable. D in W
