Just something easy to experiment with before cutting the strap.

Clearly you have extremely high standards, because your strap looks perfect to me! I still have a ways to go to meet your knife skills, but this is the result of taking an X-Acto knife to mine... ...  

Looks great

Maybe we should be surgeons?
