regarding the removal of strap... ok... the pin hole u take a paper clip jus poke the hole to release the spring bar... after 1 side done... do another... tape the watch up first... prevent scratch... then jus take the nato strap go through... wa la... u got ur self a jame bond submariner...
but... hmm can someone enlighten me abt mike comment on remove strap watch no more value? cos it sound totally not logical at all...
all these wont de-value the watch in any sense... its jus having more combination thus making wearing it more fun... if even touching the watch will de-value it... best is to jus keep it in the box... dont wear... like that confirm year down the road the rolex u own is still BRAND NEW.
watch is like car... why drive a bmw when a kelisa can do the same job... its the love of it... and changing strap is like changing the alloy wheel... sound system... etc etc... to enhance the love...
so i TOTALLY DISAGREE with the de-value thinking... make me feel like buying a rolex jus because its a rolex but not buying it cos u like the histroy, the technology and design invloved...
jus my 2cent...
