My "Strap Game" is ready......hopefully I can score a Stainless Deployant from the boutique
My "Strap Game" is ready......hopefully I can score a Stainless Deployant from the boutique. In this image only the teal strap on the watch and the navy blue at 1 o'clock are factory. Everything else is aftermarket.
I have seen these repeaters being delivered mostly with a deployant clasp. But I have seen a couple being sold with a tang buckle. Since my watch is stainless, I was expecting to find a SS tang buckle, but my buckle is Platinum with proper FPJ and Swiss hallmarks.
Wondering if the previous owner kept the SS deployant or if this watch was indeed delivered with a Platinum Tang buckle?

That’s a good question
I would say they would have matched the metals. I have a couple of FPJ deployants and they are very good but I will always prefer a tang. I think a tang gives a more comfortable feel/fit and is more minimalistic/elegant…of course that’s all subjective and...
Nothing wrong with a nice classic tang, of coutse, but here..
..but here are my two reasons why I prefer deployant: 1)- UNDOUBTEDLY, the longevity of the strap goes up dramatically if it is paired with a deployant. You force the tiny stud/pin through the hole once.....and that's it....no more meaningful stress/stret...
Yes you are right on both accounts. It all boils down to preference.
I’m sure they can help you out at the boutique and I can also understand the desire to have a matching buckle. 🤗
