Pics of my B&R 03-92 with AltStraps "Desert" strap and a Question


KEVN97A4

Recommended Posts

Got my 03-92 from King some time ago and thought the nylon strap didnt dress up the watch enough... (I wear it mostly on weekends as I work near an MRI and if I have to run in that would be GAME OVER for the watch)

So I decided to get some nicer straps... got these from AltStraps.com and it's the "Desert" strap. Quality is great....but keep in mind if you want the PVD buckle it's 35 extra(will be ordering mine today) otherwise it's about 90 with shipping for the straps. Notice I have a cheap strap that my local watch guy put on there.. it's super cheesy as it sais Mark Ecko on it... and it's silver and doesnt match the watch....but it works for now and it was 5 bucks

ONE QUESTION:As seen in the picture I am missing the small aleen key black screws (one on each strap) that hold the straps in. Where do I get them? Can anyone here sell 2 screws to me?

Thanks in advance guys... and my hats off to all of you that gave me advice before me purchasing the watch....

Kevn97a4,

Nice watch! even nicer strap!

Welcome to the world of the "B&R-good-luck-finding-parts-for-anything"...

I too have experienced loosing those screws. They are 1.3mm hexhead in PVD.

Your best bet is to contact King (where it was originaly purchased) and ask them to source the screws.

As I found out, not all 1.3mm hexheads are truly 1.3mm. I originaly got some from Otto Frei, but they were actually 1.35mm and didnt fit.

I finally got a replacement from where I purchased originally. I then made sure that those little suckers were tight before I wore my B&R anywhere... Set time, check date, tighten screws...

Good Luck!

One of the guys listed under straps below called www.panatime.com sells tubes and screws on his website. He even offeres a 10 % discount to memebers of this forum. The tubes and screws are for 24mm watches and I am not sure if they are the same size. You may want to ask the guy. I think he charges $ 10 for the tube and two screws.

the screws have a flathead vs the hex but they may fit. Ask the owner of the site. Don't forget the 10 % off. He is listed under straps part of this forum.

we will find out soon enough....

Ok so I might have wasted 35 bucks.... the authentic screws dont fit the watch tube... they are too big for it....

guys please help... I cant find a 30mm watch tube anywhere that will accommodate these authentic screws and I've been to every watch place in brooklyn

I have contacted King with no lug... I mean I told her I'd pay her for extra screws and my email was ignored....

Please help a brother out with 2 (non authentic) screws that will fit the watch tube

I havent worn the watch ONCE..

HEEEEEEEEEELP
