Hi all Incredible day yesterday finally putting the Urwerk 203 on my wrist. First job was definitely to change the strap that was on the watch, and thanks to the wonderful support from Urwerk Geneva I was able to obtain one of the new straps used for seve...  

Peter.. do they come with other colour such as yellow/green? I saw black with the Velcro but I prefer with tang buckle. Love the “step” details. Thank you for sharing especially on how to DIY on the strap change .. currently I always bring it back to the ...
