I am trying to replace the SS bracelt on my navitimer with a Bob strap-I just received. How do i take off the strap? I don't see any screws????

It has a springbar that holds the bracelet on. You will need a very small jewelers type flat head screwdriver to depress the springbar inside the bracelet. Once you have done it once it's a breeze. Be careful not to let the springbar launch itself across the room and get lost in the carpet :wink:

I got mine today, and was pretty surprised of the quality. I have a gen leather 22/20 waiting for the 3.gen Evo or eventually the Steelfish, but this is not far behind.

I just got my Bob strap today and it is beautiful! Totally changed the look of the navitimer from the ss band. Only thing about the Bob strap is that it is stiff. I think it will take some time to soften up the strap. unless anyone has some ideas

Even the genuine Breitling strap is very stiff. It's still very stiff on the second day. I have to put in on jewelery pillow to shape the strap.
