Hi all,

I know TW Steels aren't highly thought of on here but I really like them!

I've currently got the 48mm Pilot...



And I've more recently got a 45mm Canteen (I personally think the strap is too narrow for the 50mm case)...



I would like to change the strap on the Pilot for something a bit different, maybe a NATO style strap or even a bracelet style.

I'd like to add a deployant clasp to the Canteen.

Can someone recommend where I can go or a website to look at for decent quality parts? Maybe some suggestion of straps which would suit the Pilot?

Thanks in advance.

Lol, I can't believe firstly I thought "ooh, someone has tried to help!" Then secondly read the link and thought "hmm, sounds interesting".... Then, oh.

Thanks for the smile... I take it you're not a fan either!

Trying to find a black, 22mm dual deployant clasp which looks nice is becoming quite a task!

I've got no idea what to do regarding the strap on the pilot. I like the leather with red stitching but it's quite similar to the canteen.

Basically it's a very young brand with no heritage making huge cases with very small mechanics behind the face.

I think they're good VFM, everyone comments on my watches as I guess they stand out and the comments are always positive but to a true horology buff they're just a fashion watch. In my eyes, they're an affordable watch brand... They don't make handbags!

I'm a big fan of watches but I can't justify spending more than £500 on a watch yet. I've only just got a house! But putting price aside, I bloody love the designs of the one I have and will probably buy a DC one next.
