TimeStopper45 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeStopper45 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 There is no hole on the other side. It is closed off like the link to the left of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeStopper45 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 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.

TimeStopper45 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeStopper45 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
