Buckle

[maxse]

So.. I am finally starting to put the pieces together for my "perfect" 001B.

I am ordering the watch now with a SS bracelet but of course I want to be able to use straps with it as well so I am ordering some extra buckles...

Here is a question for your guys. How easy is it to change straps and buckles on the watch? Do you think it is a good idea for me to get 2-3 buckles (they aren't cheap) just to have them ready in my straps so that I have less work to change them, or is it easy enough to exchange the buckle every time between straps o that IS hould not worry about it? How do you guys manage this?

Also can someone post a pic of the correct buckle that I need for the 001B. I believe it is the 22mm polished Thumbnail Vendome buckle(according to one of the members that pmed me), but would like to see a pic so that I can show it to my dealer to avoid any confusion. Thanks.

In addition doesnt the size matter depending on the strap that I get? I guess the gen had 22mm but I doubt people would notice if I have a 24mm one?

Anyway what do you strap experts recommend. Im probably going to get 3 of them so I want to make sure I cover my bases with the straps. TIA.

Why not just go with aftermarket buckles? I prefer the Pre-V style "bottle opener" buckles to the "thumbnail" buckles, regardless of the watch.
