Offshore Strap-Change tip…

Hi all

Recently bought a small hobby vice and it’s transformed the strap changing experience on the Offshore.

Takes me six minutes from start to finish, and has significantly reduced the risk of damaging the watch during the process.

So, £7 well spent!!

I literally just swapped my strap and dropped one of the nuts on the carpet...that was 15mins well spent searching. How embarrassing to have needed to call AP and ask for a nut.

I asked for some spare screw bars after the exact same thing happened to me.

I think I'll get a spare next time I'm there, else I can see some tears in my future.

I think I'll get spares for my wife's too, else that'll be more than tears if I lose anything of hers.

Spare bars a lot cheaper than spare wives!!
