rogerthat Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Ok, my lack of skills has reached a new low. I can't seem to remove a Greg Steven's Crazy Horse strap buckle. Anyone out there have a trick or advise of something I might be missing. I am almost certain it is a screw in not sewn on buckle. It is his 1st generation. I am not expert on straps, buckles and the like but usually can handle this type of task. One side has a screw head the other looks like a pin end. Screwdriver turns the screw but does not move it, tried pushing the other side out and that does nothing. Love the strap and don't want to damage it but wanted to change to a PVD buckle. Maybe I stripped the screw somehow? Screwhead still looks OK. Any thoughts? I have just bought given up and plan on living with the silver buckle on my PVD watch.

You've maybe tried this already, but is it possible that someone has replaced the screw with panerai-style springbars? You know, the ones that look like a normal screw head at one end and pin at the other? Again, apologies if I'm pointing out the obvious; and if you've already tried this, and that isn't the answer, then the only other answer would be that the thread has stripped prof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Ditto above. If it is not the springbar deal, then the threads aren't catching. Use a pair of tweezers to help pull the screw outward as you unscrew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Or the threads are stripped so just use a push pin and push from the threaded side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
