I purchased the 46mm Chimera about a month ago and was hoping to put a different strap on it. I first tried my own hand and ordered an entire hex key set for the job. Didn't work. Next I took it to a jeweler down the road and he said he couldn't get the lugs to come out. Finally I took it to a watch smith solely dedicated to fixing watches and he said he couldn't get it out, looked like it had locktite inside of the lugs. I'm out of options and was hoping someone, anyone had any ideas or has fixed this problem before. Appreciate it!

Dude I had the same problem with my Chimera. Did you ever find a fix?

One fix I had read about, is using a low heat, and hitting the lug screw with it, heating the lock tight up, and going slow trying to loosen it. They are really tight but with heat people have had success. Try a blow dryer, or a heat gun. Best of luck!
