I bought the Tiger Woods Tag Heuer from Silix
http://www.silixwatch.com/product.asp?id=718
IMO it is nicer than their web picture makes it look. The coloring on the face in particular I was worried about, but in real life it is quite nice.
I'll post pictures later.
2 Questions that hopefully someone can help with.
1) To remove links from the strap, it looks like I have to remove super tiny screws that hold in the links. They make the screws on a Rolex strap look huge. The smallest screwdriver in my "hobby set" isn't small enough. Does anyone know if it makes sense to buy a jewellers screwdriver and try to take them out myself or should I go to a jeweller to have it adjusted. I guess I'm worried that the "tiny" screws won't some out to easy and I might strip the screws and/or screwdriver.
That said, I would like to do it myself. If anyone has experience doing with this Rep/strap and knows that it do-able, I'd appreciate hearing it.
2) The first link of the strap, where it mounts to the body of the watch, doesn't pivot although it looks like it should. As such, the first link sticks out quite wide on the watch. Again, if anyone has dealt with this rep (or similar Tag reps) I'd appreciate hearing whether that is normal, or whether the first link can be unscrewed, repositioned and screwed down again.
Thanks for your time everybody.....
