The 2017 MilSpec came with friction pins, which was quite a hazzle...
... but it was easy to switch to spring bars immediately.
If the strap is not too thick, straight spring bars surely work. With the tropic I personally also use slightly curved spring bars.

Thank you!
Thank you for the information dear Henrik. I had one more question which was around the Blancpain official tropic.
Right now I have the tropic strap from TROPIC but its a bit too long and I wanted to call up the boutique and other the tropic strap from Blancpain that came with the Barrakuda. Was wondering if you had that strap and if you had the measurements for it so I can compare it to what I have.
Thank you and hope you are having a great weekend.

Great post as usual Henrik. I concur that the watches are quite different
I was "shocked" to hear the release of Hodinkee Milspec. I was skeptical but I am glad that I ordered the one.
PS: did they use different AR coating. The colour looks different
As it turned out, both are different and attractive in their own ways. I like, and going to keep both.

Congrats! And yes, the AR coating is different...
... interestingly the FF MIL-SPEC for Hodinkee shows the blue hue we were used to with the Leman series, and which was gone for quite a while now.

Agree, the hands are a bit oversized. But it’s a charismatic piece nonetheless
