HBB gen smooth rubber and part request

[wrxzzz]

I swapped a gen smooth rubber strap onto my black magic full ceramic. It looks and feels great. It's much thicker and stiffer than the rep, giving it a much more expensive feel. I'll snap some pics soon. The only problem is, I scratched the pvd coating off of a clasp screw before I realized that they don't come out and that it's just a spring bar holing it on. My crude homemade "H" screw driver was a little rough. Does anyone have a PVD clasp they want to get rid of or know where I can get one without paying through the nose? I would also like to get another silver "H" screw that I put a tiny scratch on as well.

Maybe what you did was actually good.

Gen ceramics come with PVD clasp but screws in this clasp are plain SS.

You should just get rid of the rest of PVD left on these screws.

is this true???

Anyone have any pictures of a gen PVD clasp? I think I will try to fully remove the PVD coating on the clasp screws.

Wow thanks. Now I know what I must do...hahaha

I wonder if these screws are also fake in gen clasp.

I'm not sure, but I think not.

The finished product. I removed the PVD from the clasp screws with a small file and polished them with 1000 then 2000 grit sand paper. Thanks so much for the tip on the clasp screws!

How is the ceramic case? You notice any scratches?

Where did you get the gen strap from?

[wrxzzz]

There isn't a scratch on it! I got it second hand but I'm not sure how much it was worn. I picked up the strap on watch net forum.
