Strap Change on Fifty Fathoms
I just picked up a Fifty Fathoms and where I love the watch, I'm not too crazy about the strap. I collect Panerai and have gotten used to that flexibility.

Does anyone happen to know what size allen key is required?
In your experience, is it worth biting the bullet and getting the kit?
Thank you for any input.
