The metal bracelet on my new PRS 22 is just in-between sizes, so I've ordered a Steveo (http://www.steveostraps.com/wp-conte...6/IMG_9328.jpg) on a deployant, and also a Watchworx (http://www.watchworx.co.uk/pages/lwb...osport-Mk2.htm).
I'll post pics when I get them:worked_till_5am:
Pictures coming, doesn't seem to work from an iPad
Looks very nice. I always find it hard to find a strap for my speedbird that doesn't rub on the case. Any rubbing with this watchworx strap?
Yes, it rubs on the case! Wonder if a curved strap would do it?Quote:

thanks for that info - so for the speedbird, 20mm between the lugs, is it still a 20mm spring bar only curved that I need?Quote:

Now ordered, since Andytc pointed out it rubbed the case I had to take the strap off and put a Nata on, till the curved springbars comeQuote:

how do I remove these? And, any recommendations for where to buy spring bars with shoulders?
Maybe best to break them and toss them. What kind of spring bars don't have shoulders?Quote:

Yes, that's what I did in the end, but now reluctant to refit them.Quote:

I think that those kind of spring bars are for lugs with the hole drilled right through.
I think you're right. I got some different ones from gasgasbones with a rib to locate the spring bar tool in, seems to work fine.
Yeah that would be whyQuote:

Here's the Speedbird 3 on a Yellow Dog Vintage Distressed Dark Brown strap. Super strap and great service.

Apologies, meant to be a reply to Rustybin5 not a stand alone. My Glycine Incursore has shoulderless springbars and drilled lugs, never seen them before though. I did once fit a strap with metal tubes to a none-drilled lug watch and had to remove it with pliers, DOH!

I still love a SBIII. It's a mistress I've loved and lost many times and, in my price range, is probably the only watch I'd chop in my Bulova Moon Watch for.
Ouch!Quote:
