I also took the oportunity to change the look of my speedy, by fitting a leather Watchworx strap

I've always wondered if wathces with metal straps could be switched to leather, thanks you've answered my question.

Love it, good work with the speedy!

I swap between a metal and Nato on my Speedie all the time. Once you work out how to do it it becomes second nature. I disengage one side of the spring bar just slightly, so that it is pushing against the inside of the lug, enabling you to push in the other side of the spring bar to ease the bracelet out.

I found the Speedy a little trickier than the others, but that may be down to the fact that its the one I least wanted to damage

I know the Nato style is very popular, but for some reason I don't quite get it Maybe they'll grow on me in time

They look great on. The NATO straps also prevent you from losing the watch if a spring bar fails. It was only around the house but I experienced this first hand when I caught the watch on the edge of a door...

Have you got a link to stuff you bought?

I feel like having a go at doing my Monster!

Cheap as chips, but did the job perfectly. But do watch out for the tiny collar It's microscopic.

Will do!

Snap! I have exactly the same one and it's very good. It even proved useful when taking apart a movement, although I've now upgraded to a master watchmaker's kit which is pretty awesome.

Just got an Email from them!

4-9 working days for delivery

missed that when I ordered it, I just read the "dispatched in 48 hours" bit and assumed it would be next day delivery after that period.

Might have to start wearing it around my ankle to keep it going
