Sure.
These parts are not detachable. They're part of the case. It's one solid piece. If you only had 1 spring bar you could easily move the strap out of place since it can rotate.

Does this mean the band can not be swapped out with an Oysterflx?Sure.

Thanks! I’m not really crazy about the strap that comes with it…velcro! Wish it could be swapped out…
I’m ordering one through The Watch Mansion and requested they change the strap to a brown oyster flex. Let’s see what they can do.
I'll go with @Reaps that it can't be done .... easily ....
However I'll bet it can be done, anything can be done. Just like a swap I did on one of my TAG Heuer F1's Bracelets, it requires macro headset, (well my eyesight does), and some tiny tools, drills, filing and polishing, and a knowledge of how the materials will react, protecting the parts you are working on from errant scratches, etc etc yak yak yak. I'm no watchmaker, but I am fairly good at engineering stuff
There is an old proverb that sayeth "Your only as good as your most amazing / expensive fuck up
Anything can be done, but it can also get expensive, all depends how much you can DIY and the available free time you have too
I have built many amazing cars in my lifetime, which usually started with someone saying "That can't be done"
These dayz I'm getting too arthritic to be building Cars from ground up, and I have too many Cars atm anyways, so the Watches is a logical progression since I have loved watches for approx 50 years since I was a wee boy
I absolutely admire some of the serious modders on here, they are in a way different universe to the small mods I do.

So I was just informed by Sead some issues have arisen…..I’m waiting for some more clarification….
He did not elaborate….im waiting for his response to my inquiry what happened?
as an aside…I did have an issue with Omega Aqua Terra world timer and was advised to send it back, which I did. It’s now hung up in customs and may take months to get returned to me….this was InTime……lesson learned! Never send it back!
Well don’t congratulate him yet, we need to see what the issue is …
Posted after seeing the first picture on page 1! I'll hold my fire and my fingers crossed.
Just heard from him…said he got the watch and opened case back….didnt like what he saw…said he’d rather refund than send bad piece…this is second watch he rejected…said he is waiting for another watch from factory….hoping its good! I’m really looking forward to this watch….been wanting it for a long time…he also mentioned the police raids and said a lot of people closed at the moment

For sure…I’m in the middle of that with my Omega Aqua Terra world timer
