AEgir Tubes?
Has anyone bought tubes for straps that live on their CD-2s? I’ve got a olive canvas that I cannot line the screw bar correctly on. I figured if there was nowhere to go, I’d have an easier time.
I ordered some from Panatime but they were too narrow. The bars are 2mm. Hoping someone has a good source. Thanks in advance!

I didn’t on the Aegir, but I had a similar problem with a different watch (and I don’t remember which one lol!). The solution was H2O tubes.

Re: AEgir Tubes?
The tube holes in the case to the screw bars. That way you can screw the ends in easier. I think Kobold use to make a tool for this if I recall.tattoo chef wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 7:11 pmI am being dense for sure, but what are we talking about lining up?toxicavenger wrote:I used a paper clip to line it up

Re: AEgir Tubes?
Sometimes on a thicker strap you can't push the screw bar all the way through it and have it line up to the hole on the case. I personally have moved the strap around to line it up or just use the end of a paper clip.tattoo chef wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 7:21 pmI’ve never run into this issue, ever.toxicavenger wrote:The tube holes in the case to the screw bars.

So the screw bars just automatically went into the lug holes on the other side?Jeep99dad wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 8:07 pmMe neithertattoo chef wrote:I’ve never run into this issue, ever.toxicavenger wrote:The tube holes in the case to the screw bars.

Pretty much or with just a little guidance.

Re: AEgir Tubes?
Yep same here. I used a paper clip for the guidance. Or I pushed the strap around to guide it.Jeep99dad wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 9:17 pmPretty much or with just a little guidance.

Re: AEgir Tubes?
FWIW, I think having tubes in softer material straps is just a good idea from a general practice perspective. I've noticed Seiko has started adding tubes to their new generation rubber straps (the ones that feel softer, almost silicone-like, such as the model included with the SLA017 and SBDC053).
Obviously, only use tubes on watches with drilled lugs.

Re: AEgir Tubes?
It’s only been an issue on this one canvas strap. I spent an hour patiently trying to guide the screwbar into the hole. I have no idea if it’s a thickness thing or what.
Just trying to find an easy solution. I’ll try the paper clip idea.

Re: AEgir Tubes?
It’s a single-end threaded screwbar so only 1 screwdriver needed. No luck guiding the bar.
I’m at a loss. There has to be a way.

Re: AEgir Tubes?
I honestly have never encountered this issue. Is the strap hitting the inside of the lugs so much that it’s just too thick and not enough clearance? I mean, the Ægir comes on an isofrane, so how thick is this strap?manitoujoe wrote:It’s a single-end threaded screwbar so only 1 screwdriver needed. No luck guiding the bar.

If the strap is that thick a tube won’t help.

Re: AEgir Tubes?
I can’t imagine it’s too thick. It’s a normal canvas strap. Not sure who made it. I think something on the inside of the strap is nudging it just out of sync with the hole.
When I try other straps, it kind of sinks into the threaded hole and all is good. With this one, it just never does.
I’m getting so frustrated I’m probably going to sell the strap. Not the AEgir’s fault. Lol

The CD-2 is a pain in the ass for straps. I never take mine off the Isofrane.

Gonna necrobump this because I think I'm fighting the same problem on the same watch (I think I bought the watch in question).

Re: AEgir Tubes?
The canvas strap wasn't going to work any more than the tapered benarofrane I'd like on the CD-2. Isofrane it is, and based on how well it fits I would bet that the lug holes were spaced based on Isofrane dimensions. The iso is the center strap in the "ends" photo.

That smells like a mistake was made. I'll compare my Aegir Iso to a 22mm tonight.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 8:53 pmTodd me he had to bore out the stock Isofranes to work.
