diggs Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romp Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a special tool to release the springbar or can you just slide it back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
