List Of Answers
1. Do you offer quantity discounts?
Back to Question List
Yes, beginning with a minimum order of any combination of 10 or more straps. Email or call for specifics.

2. How do I know if I need a Long size?
Back to Question List
A measurement must be made. Keep in mind it does no good to look at the overall length of the strap. The strap must be measured when it is buckled. When buckled in the second to last hole, our regular size straps measure 6.75" and the longs are 7.4-7.5". Take these figures and add them to the length of your watch. Then measure your wrist and you will have your answer. Our regular size straps run a bit longer than most. Therefore, many people accustomed to using longs will find that our regular sizes will fit them just fine.

3. If Sirtoli straps are so good, why are they so inexpensive?
Back to Question List
There are several reasons for this: A) In the USA, we are strictly an internet merchant. Because this type of marketing is so inexpensive compared to traditional methods, we have virtually no marketing expenses built into the price of our straps. B) We are not a wholesalers. The typical markup at the retail level in the watch strap industry is 300-400%! Since we don't have any retailers to "protect", we can sell at our low prices. C) We mainly advertise via word of mouth. That's the kind of advertising that can't be bought at any price. We never claimed to be marketing wizards, we just focus on making world class watch straps. We know if we keep our focus there, sales will follow. D) We are a small and efficient company. Our entire operation is privately owned. This not only ensures the constant quality of our product but also eliminates many of the costly steps involved in getting a product such as ours to market.

4. What if I need a strap in a size or color you don't have listed on the site?
Back to Question List
Email us! Many times we will not list a certain size or color because we feel our inventory of that particular strap is not large enough. We realize how frustrating it is for the consumer when something is ordered, only to get an email back saying it is out of stock. So, if the inventory of a specific strap drops below a certain number, we remove it from the website before our supply is completely depleted.
