If you loosen the screws a tad, all regular springbar 22mm straps with easy change will fit. I’ve even put a bracelet on my 3 hander…

1. So apparently they did a strap change for someone on non OEM strap, watch fell off, client wanted either compensatory damages or something onerous. Henceforth, no non OEM strap changes.
2. Personally I think the strap change is very annoying and very easily to slip and scratch the lugs because you need to hold one end down while unscrewing the other. You can also use a case holder or one of those screw bits to hold the stationary end.
3. The real trick/issue you want to be careful on is the pin needs to fit into the screw cap. So you'll need something to push it in a little bit, but you need to make sure you actually put it into the cap on both sides and not accidentally missing it which would cause the screw in to be loose, not fully secured.

It's doable, but not for the faint of heart or non-pro IMHO. Lots of room for error and scratches/dings for the operation. Gotta be pro grade like Bearx86.

Man, that dude always wins the strap game.

Ouch... not quite good news. But on the other hand, the OEM straps are quite nice so I guess it's ok.
