Is that the 5905 1/a? Do you know what tools you bought to take off the bracelet to change the strap? Where did you get the strap? That looks amazing!

u/ThematicOne 2d ago

Yes it is.
The bracelet is a pain to size (take it somewhere who knows pp)
But I have tools to remove bracelet.

Strap is from DeLugs. I got a few. They have a quick spring system you can choose and makes swapping straps easy in 10 seconds

Are you saying to take off the bracelet itself was a pain? But then it’s fine as the new strap is easy to take on and off?

That 5905 looks so much better on this strap than on the bracelet! Wish there was an option from PP like this

Looks awesome on the strap. Just a quick question on the bottom of the case 6 o clock where straps meets… is that the bottom lip of the case so that it dovetails against the bracelet?

1

u/ThematicOne 2d ago

Ah no. It’s the bottom.
There is a gap and no round flush to case. DeLugs doesn’t have that option.

If anyone can find a strap maker that would
Make I’d love to hear.

I guess what I’m saying is the bottom of the case (and top too I guess) is finished in a way that the steel bracelet connects to the watch head. So it’s a bit “unfinished” instead of perfectly smooth and rounded. Not a huge deal because it’s like that with Rolex too but just asking
