diggs Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 Just got my 3717 and while I really like the bracelet I ordered a strap from watch boys on the bay. Any idea where I can find an 18mm IWC buckle?
Romp Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 eddie lee This may be a stupid question but as I have never owned a leather strap before.. how easy is it to change the tang buckle?
deltatahoe Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 This may be a stupid question but as I have never owned a leather strap before.. how easy is it to change the tang buckle? typically tang buckles have springbar type pins holding the buckle to the strap... it should be pretty easy -- you might have to mash down the strap a bit to get at the pin though (not sure if this makes sense or not).... deltatahoe

You need a special tool to release the springbar or can you just slide it back?
eunomians Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 A spring bar tool helps. You an use an X-Acto blade, too, but I ain't responsible if you stab your hand or cut off a digit! I seriously recommend that you get a spring bar tool. Get a Swiss made one.
