Stripped screw in watch bracelet

[TimeStopper45]

Please help. My new watch bracelet arrived today but one of the screws will not come out. It turns fine but it just keeps turning and wont come out like the others. What can I do?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Did you give it a push from the other side while your screwing it out at the same time? Worked for me a few times.

There is no hole on the other side. It is closed off like the link to the left of it

Hi, now I have another problem...

The bracelet seems to not fit into the end link:

The only thing I can think of is removing the end link and heating it with a heatgun. Is that a bad idea? How can I get it in. PLease help

The Omega chrono end link on this rep has been made to a completely different strap width to the regular Seamaster and I presume also to the genuine as I can't imagine Omega using a different dimension on essentially the same strap.

You're best option might be a set of original end links which 'should' fit the rep case, and the correctly dimensioned strap.

Why change out the strap anyway? The chrono strap was pretty good from memory and the clasp was very good.

I had this same problem a couple of years back when the chrono came out and I ended up using a rubber strap instead.

Whats weird is it looks like they squeezed the intial link (that came with the watch) into this end link. If I look at the link cloosely, it looks streched

On the other end I left the link in. Notice how it does not want to move at all. I have to apply force to move it:

Ignore all these issues because I have decided to keep my original bracelet that the rep came with. Too much hassle in changing something that isnt very noticeable. I will be returning the new watch band since I wont be using it.

So problem solved

Anyways thanks
