RLudlowe Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I've ordered a custom strap for my Santos 100 Chrono rep, and I was hoping someone out there has experience changing the strap out - It's not obvious if it's a screw or a press fit pin with a swedged end - do I unscrew it or drive it out from the small end with a micro drift? If you've done this, let me know, otherwise I guess I'll just fiddle with it until I figure something out - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camiel Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Have you managed to change the strap? I have to do the same but ran into the same problem.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theflyingdutchman Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hi, this is difficult! You have to either pull the pins out at the side with a small tweezer or push them in. Pushing them into the old strap is easier then pulling them out,. This gets the strap off and then you can try getting the pins out, which s easier then the other way around! This is how did it! Of course you risk not getting them out, but will you want to use/sell the old strap? TFDM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbchubb Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 As the dutchman said - You can use a paper clip to push them in. Then remove the strap and push them out from the removed strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwinner Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I've ordered a custom strap for my Santos 100 Chrono rep, and I was hoping someone out there has experience changing the strap out - now that we know how to change the strap, I'm also keen to learn where you've ordered the custom strap and how you knew which size to go for...

georgegrasser Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Both HK Tan and Anthony know what size you need when you order. I don't remember where I found Anthony, but he was $70 as compared to $110 for a croco-grain calf strap on my Santos 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegrasser Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I found Anthony's E-mail if anyone wants to give him a try. The quality is the same as my HKTan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
