anyone know how to replace the leather band / strap from a mont blanc? i have a timewalker with a brown leather strap and want to change it to a black leather strap. do I need a special tool to remove the pin?

UPDATE still haven't received order or any notification about the tracking # of my two rep's. i ordered them on 2/4 but b/c of the CNY, it's taking a while. hope to hear something soon from Andrew as it'll be 3 weeks this week since my order date.

UPDATE.. I got a reply back from Andrew yesterday evening. My bad on this one guys. I feel like a goof I never gave it a thought about CNY nor the currency Exchange. I typically use paypal to purchase things so I never noticed the extra charge but this time I used a ccard. Andrew explained that the extra charges are not appied by him but by the card issuing bank and the gateway bank which makes complete sense considering these days the US dollar isn't worth wha it used to be As mentioned previously, I have ordered from Andrew in the past and every experience has been great and aside from the currency exchange and CNY, which he has no control over, this time I'm sure will be the same (me being a happy camper with my rep additions). According to Andrew, my ordered will be processed after the 13th so I should expect to see my new rep's in about a week from now. I'll be sure post pics as soon as they come in!

I recently ordered two new watches from Andrew (trustywatchguy), 7 days ago to be exact. The grand total for the order was supposed to be 551.00. A few days later i notice two charges on my checking account; one for like 578.00 and another for like 17.00. I thought it was a bit strange and figured that maybe they got my order wrong. So I go back to see a confirmation of my order (i always take a screen print and save to PDF for my personal records for anything i purcahse online) and it was in fact supposed to only be 551.00. I emailed Andrew (i had his email address stored in my contacts b/c I ordered from him about 3 or 4 years ago) and asked why I was charged more. a day or two goes by and no reply. I logon to his website and email my question / complaint via the "contact us" page. Still no reply. In my message I also asked what the typical lead time is these days b/c last time I ordered from him I received an email with tracking status in about 2 days and got my watch a few days later. To date i have not received any communication. Like I mentioned, I have ordered from him in the past and all has been well, still use the watch today. Maybe he is just busy these days or something but considering it's been 7 days since my order and I haven't received any acknowledgement whatsoever, I'm starting to get a little worried. Anyone recently purchase from Andrew? Anyone have the same experience?
