I play this game a lot as well. Great choices. Are they from ACM? HAGWE Christian
But they don’t come with a buckle. What buckle do you use? My other concern is not securing the buckle properly and suddenly introducing my watch to the floor. Can anybody explain how they do it?
Bought two a while ago but it turned out that the spring bars were too short. The strap basically fell off. Luckily, I found out before strapping on the watch and stepping outside. This version is much better. I can’t make the straps disengage manually which is how it should be. Claus
The buckle is secured on the strap with a spring bar that fits into holes in the buckle itself. When you move the buckle from one strap to the other, you’re able to check and doublecheck that it is securely fastened. I used my strap changing tool to move the buckle from the original strap to the new one. Claus
Just got 4 of these from ACM as well with the new spring bars.
Another option is to get a second buckle. I didn’t want to use a non-matching gold or platinum buckle for my CB, so I was disappointed to hear they wouldn’t sell me one separately...until they did! So now I can simply swap straps without having to mess with the buckle at all.
