DIY - MontBlanc TimeWalker Strap Change and eye candy [Pic Heavy]

[Mirage]

Hi guys, I have been receiving a lot of questions regarding the Panatime Straps that I've installed on my TWs. Here are pictures of the removal, adjustment of the buckle's tongue and installation.

Pictures are pretty self explanatory, so I quit the blahblah and here are the pics!

1 - Here is a strap that never been mounted, I ordered it thinking it was Black, but I was very disappointed to see that Panatime's picture on their website was not always truly representative of the real thing. Read carefully when ordering

2 - Removal of bracelet and installation of croc strap

Nice watch you have there. Strap perfectly combined.

Be careful with those blades, I see you have already become a victim, and cut yourself

Seriously though, great photos, and detail shots my friend.

I should have known these questions would come up! 1 paper cut at the office today and pinched my fingertips doing renovation last week end... It is not dangerous to change a strap! So you guys follow the instructions here above and go!

How do you adjust a SS bracelet? I tried to use a tiny screwdriver, but I was not able to unscrew the screws.

They're not screws. They are spring pins. They re split at one end giving the impression the are flat head screw but they are not.

Just use a tiny rigid pin and a hammer on the end that does not look like a screw. Should come off with very little effort.

I just recently order my SS TW silver dial like yours.. And after seeing some of the pics here in the forum i noticed the star on my crown its a bit off white? Seems like theres a clear coating over it.. Doesn't look matte like the orig or the pens... Any advice on that ... Or where you got yours from? Can the TW crown be replaced ?
