I got then from a dealer in the Northeast USA.
They wanted me to bring my watch in, but considering that I live over a thousand miles from them that wasn't feasible. Where I live, the closest AD is over 400 miles away. If you live close to any AD's, I would suspect that they will want you to bring in the watch. Also I have bought other gen watches from this AD, so he would have no reason to suspect that I was putting them on a rep.
Wish I could help more, but this is the best I can do.

he will not be able to order multiple times
That's correct. Maybe in a year or two, but within a few months, certainly going to create suspicion.

So I got the 22mm PAM springbars. I couldn't manage to fit them in the rep strap, so I thought I´d put the watch on a NATO strap (which also turned out to be quite difficult to obtain because Blancpain thought 23mm would be a great lugsize).
It works. But its very tight. This NATO is 1mm thick, and its really squished between the bar and the case as you can see.
Here's a solution.
Hopefully this doesnt damage the strap. Get a pair of needle nose pliers and take hold of the strap where the spring bar resides. Tightly grasp the spring bar through the strap and give it a good turn. It should loosen up enough to take out with the right bit now. If you dont have one, after its loose you can use a pair of tweezers and insert them into the screw head, then open them enough to provide a solid grip against the inner diameter. Slowly turn the tweezers and eventually you'll have enough out where you can spin it the rest of the way with your fingers.
Hope this helps!
