kasigi Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Bah. Taking a strap off my Big Pilot and the spring bar tool slipped and gouged a big chunk out of the pad of my left thumb I never knew a thumb held so much blood! K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 You know I have come to the realisation that changing straps/bracelets is just not that easy, each time I have given it a go it's taken me ages so yes I can understand how easy it would be to slip and take a chunk out of your thumb, whats more they're sharp little mothers too Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 That actually hurt to read, I feel your pain. I did something similar before and said I would never buy a watch with spring bars, IMO it isn't a great design but there are some cool watches with it, so what can you do?

ubiquitous Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 I know exactly what you mean! Can't recall how many times I've stabbed myself in the thumb, finger or hand, etc. with a screwdriver or razorblade while working on a watch. And sometimes those blasted springbars can be the worst!

Rolexman Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 (edited) Said it once will say it again... use a potatoe knife. Much better(and safer ) than all those expensive spring-bar tools. No scratches or marks on strap nor thumb.... Manual (just to be safe ): Edited May 27, 2006 by Rolexman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
