On this side of the strap, the bars do find the lug holes, however, doesn't fully "click" into a secure position.

A light tug and it'll pop right out.

Along with stratching the hell out of my lugs, I have tested two sets of spring bars with and without different straps and this problem is only presented on the "short" side of the crafterblue strap.

Any help would be appreciated.

(I've also emailed crafterblue but I didn't buy directly from them so we'll see what kinda response I'll be getting.)
Would suggest trying a springbar that is +1mm for that side. So if it is 20mm now, up to 21mm.

I won something! :D A long while back I entered a contest on Instagram and I won a rubber NATO strap from Zodiac. It has finally made it to my wrist and I'm really happy about it. The strap is not perfect but I like it and I'm in absolutely no position to complain so I'm just going to enjoy my good fortune. It's very very orange and I think it looks good paired with my blue dial SSW. I think it might be a slightly different orange than my Zodiac Aerospace but at some point I'm going to have to try it on that watch too. And it smells like vanilla! Zodiac will never see this here but a big thanks to them anyway.

Just received the BF Clockwork Synergy order with the Autumn Cordura. Sorry for the photo quality, evening light isn't very flattering.

My new Bertuccis were waiting for me when I came home from my trip. The leather one is substantial to say the least (think dog collar) so I soaked it in water to let it conform to the lugs as it dried. I really like the roller buckle. Not bad for $8+8+15.

An Instagram post showing off some new rubber and sailcloth straps from Straphabit.com on my Promaster.




And I probably didn't need 9 new leather straps but I couldn't resist the Boxing Day sale from Strapsco.com. The average price came down to just $11.82 per strap with all of the discounts. I haven't worn them yet but they seem to be really good quality for that kind of money.

I just got this new one from a private sale- IWC style pilot strap in blue croc. Works pretty well on the Nighthawk:



And also this blue python from [mention]trinhlemai[/mention] that is just gorgeous.

Good plan, but when you buy a watch you generally get a free strap :ugeek:.

SO: "You bought a new watch! You promised me you wouldn't!!"

WIS: "oh hon, no, I just got new straps!! The watch head kinda came with it...weird"

Thanks for sharing. I have been tempted to get something from him but you're right, his prices are up there (even shipping seems a wee bit high) but glad to hear the quality is awesome.
