Out of all the watches I've had, the Supermarine is a real fucker when [trying] to change straps. I absolutely love the watch, it's stylish and rugged, and the company seems to have great CS, but easily the most difficult to change straps. I have it on the integrated rubber, and okay, that's easy and straightforward to get off. I put it on Bremont's velcro nato which was an absolute bitch to get on without scratching the lugs (didn't manage that
). It was even worse to get off, so difficult I'm considering a ritual burning with an incantation directed at whoever the fuck designed it. Then getting the rubber back on was impossible: the dog skulked off, the magnifier is covered in spit, probably flecked with blood and the neighbours came round to ask if everything was okay. I got one end of the spring bar in and the other end compressed and the strap in position, but do you think I could get the other end in? I think the hole in the strap must be a very slightly loose fit for the bar, and so it's just luck when, and a big-fucking-if, you get it in. Just me, or what?
