Also, it's easy to miss, but each strap has a long bar that goes through the strap and the lugs, the middle section of each strap that's fitted to the watch from the factory has a metal sleeve, it's easy to leave that in the original strap and not even know it's there and thus miss installing it in the replacement strap.
When removing the original strap there are two screws, one long bar that runs the from lug to lug and a metal sleeve in the middle section that the long bar runs through.


I learnt something today, thanks Gary. I didn’t know about the long metal sleeve, I’m guessing that mine is long gone by now in a thrown away strap.
