watch band recs/help with old band
snk809 just arrived in record time
the steel strap looks nice but it is MASSIVE on my smaller wrist (will add pic in a second)
is it possible to adjust this thing more than a little bit? i expect i'd have to remove links but no idea if that's possible
otherwise, recs for brown leather watch straps? budget is $30. not sure if that's low but i'm not certain how much a decently nice strap costs

You can DIY remove the links with tools or without. It can be a bit tricky mind you. Laziest thing would be taking it to a watch repair place IMO.

Tool to remove links should be super cheap
Link removal on seiko5 bracelets isn't too bad, I've diy'd it by following YouTube videos before
Also not to solicit anything too private-sale-y but I think I've got an 18mm shell cordovan "model 2" band from Worn&Wound lying around in my watch case that's not attached to anything right now if you were interested in having a look and working something out.
Otherwise I've bought bands from Panatime before, they've got a ton of options across a lot of price points.
managed to do it with a tiny screwdriver and a paper clip. thank you everyone!
it didn't take especially long and the bracelet is cheap so i didn't care if it got scratched
