[Q] Which strap ?

[cirian75]

I have one of the sliver SMW2

I find the sony silver metal bracelet, to me rubbish

does not curl enough around my wrist to be fitted right, and if I take another link out it wont fit over my hand as the release catch only opens half as much as a regular watch strap

I have big hands but small wrists :/

I have this coming

and the official sony black leather one too, tried to cancel that but was to late

but now I'm reading about these Nato straps ?

Look quality.

Any idea if it will fit through the gaps between the watch and spring bars?

I've cancelled the Hirsch strap to see what the outcome of your strap is like.

Has it arrived yet ?

Not yet. Mid week and no, I didn't think about the fit ?, hope it's OK. They are standard 24mm though.

What's the best method of unfitting / fitting straps?

I've ordered this for strap removal

Judging by the looks of that tool I think an old electrical screwdriver I have lying around will suffice. Failing that a paper clip.

Better image, note notched end for pushing back the spring bar

Almost sure that it won't.

 

[cirian75]

the gap is quite tight, this 1mm think fitted ok, could go a smige thicker, but a 1.5 will stand no chance

Recieved my strap this morning.
Ordered the black one.
The seller messaged me to tell me he was waiting for some material supplies, apologised & offered to refund or provide another half price so I snapped up the half price deal with a red & black strap.

Glad I did, the quality is excellent & the leather looks (and smells) really nice. Stitching is nice & the fit is perfect as when you order he requests the circumference of your wrist so it's a custom fit.

You was right, the strap would not fit with the stock spring bars but luckily the seller provides 2 slightly curved bars with each order which allowed the slightly thicker leather to fit snugly.

I have this nice mid brown Hirsch liberty on mine now

suits it well, back of strap is not the best as where ever it was store before O bought it was warm and dry so I had to give a treatment with dubbin, all good now.
