Thanks Jack. I have a blue burst coming from Lucy and I am planning on picking up a blue Brady strap. Do you like the way it looks on that watch?
Awesome collection guys! Keep em coming!
Unfortunately for me, I busted both sides of the bottom lug screws while trying to remove the rep sail cloth straps. Anyone here have any suggestions of removing them rounded screws? I'm out of ideas. Thinking of supergluing a tip of one of a link pusher to be able to grip and turn them.

You should check a dull yellow (mustard? ) strap with same or light grey stitching.
If you are sure that now the bolts are free to be unscrewed, go with epoxy glue.
Next step is to slice the old strap to have access, cut off the bars in the middle and use their body to unscrew...
Please use white grease on the bolts next time.
good luck

For reference this is 24mm. You see it too big by the lug end

I love DSN’s Watches. He builds them so dang close to gen
Thanks for the suggestions @JOP and @JackJ1980. I'm trying to avoid cutting the rep strap. But I think that's the best way. I'll figure it out again tomorrow after sleep. Lol

I really wish they would rep the gen rally sailcloth strap but until they do, my Bonetto Cinturini 321 24mm $28 Italian rubber dive strap will have to do.

Thanks Bro @JackJ1980 for the suggestion and guidance. However, I had to slice open the rep strap and pry the lug bar out with a plier.
Care to share what spring bars do you all use in replacement to the hex screw bars? Panatime spring bars or fat bars. Care to share some links and specs?
I was trying to find for the same hex screw bars I damaged on Taobao. Could find any but ended up buying these:
hex screw removal tool (RMB 116 for two)
Fifty fathoms deployant buckle with rep sailcloth strap (RMB 198)

I ordered a custom 23mm green shark skin strap from Simona di Stefano when I first got mine -- loved it ever since, but I just noticed it has shrunk ...
Oh well -- I think it brings out the bezel rather well and is an option other than black or grey ...
You can try using Skidmore's Leather Cream or even Clenzsoil to dehydrate. Sooner rather than later!
