Dr.Will Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 No ebay will just sell you gen. Price whether it is or not. Your best bet is to either call dealer for strap or buy complete watch.. I have tried to find with red stitch. Always the reply no spare parts are left in the replica world. I just bought complete for $258 from toro.

automatico Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Ebel watches with screw on straps are a huge $$ problem when the strap wears out. I have two genuine steel and gold quartz Ebel Classic Wave watches with screw on straps and since both together are not worth as much as one new strap sells for, I ground the screw brackets off and drilled springbar dimples inside the lugs. After polishing between the lugs with Cratex they look like they came from the factory this way. Since I only paid about $40 each for the watches I did not mind modifying the cases. This is not an option on the BTR but is a viable option on cheap watches. You can also substitute a $65 Eta 256.031/2 for the $300 Ebel Classic Wave movement when they go dead...it is not a drop in but not too hard to do.I also have a quartz steel and gold Ebel 1911 time and date watch with a dead movement (Cartier calibre 87) and it will soon be getting a substitute quartz Eta of some sort in place of the high $$ cal 87. I am not a 'Purist' when it comes to quartz watches. If they look the same on the outside, it does not matter to me what is on the inside.The bottom line = I do not feel bad about modifying genuine quartz cheapos but a genuine BTR is another story. It is going to be expensive to buy a new genuine strap, no way around it. Otoh if the watch is a replica...there are no rules, anything goes.
