Question...
Do any of you change the strap of your Hublot from time to time? I saw a variety of straps at AD attached to certain models and I wonder how Hublot owners do. As with other brands, models, changing straps is quite a breath, a fresh air. I often do it myself, too.
I would love to know more about Hublot and the love of the owners. So, if you do, please share the before/ after photos! Hublot is the brand that is fun to see the variety. More photos, the better for us to appreciate more. Thank you in advance!
The photo below has nothing to do with strap changing 
Sorry. I just could not resist. One of the coolest models and was in the special display case. Very wile and cool, eh?
I hope you are enjoying the weekend and/or Chinese New Year!
Best,
Ken

changing straps
I change my straps from occasionally and will post some pictures of them. I would suggest that people take them into a boutique to change them however as I have heard of people snapping the screws due to overtightening them or scratching them on the steel...
Thank you, would love to see the pics
.. of "before" and "after". Generally, I like to change straps occasionally and I wonder about Hublot, too. Thanks! Best, Ken
Do Hublots come with a special screwdriver to change straps?
The screw on the strap lug area looks to be a proprietary screwhead, so I'm assuming Hublots come with a special screwdriver to fit the screw slot? And to change a strap on a Hublot, do you only need to unscrew those 2 screws on each side of the strap lug...
Do Hublots come with a special screwdriver to change straps?
Depending on the model some watches come with a second strap and a screw driver You only need to unscrew the two screws in order to change the strap
Thanks
I wonder if you're referring to the two special screws on the 'surface' of the lugs: Or to the side of the lugs?...
The first photo..
Hi Jester, An old thread but Its your first photo with the screws on the front. This releases the strap and the front panel so it is easy to put the new strap in. BTW, I had the solo bang on my wrist last week, it is still an AMAZING watch! Cheers Andrew
So I guess
I'll be needing a specialized screw driver to change the strap? Probably better off having the boutique to do it then. Tx.
Wow, first I wondered who started this thread and...
.... it was me, but I couldn't remember immediately so I thought someone stole my ID Anyway, now I remember the thread and it was last year February, when this forum started. And your last question or comment - yes, I would lask the boutique or shop to do...

I've noticed some specialized strap makers offering straps for Hublot so I was wondering if strap changing is that easy. When I got my first big bang years ago, I didn't think it was that straight forward hence I searched this forum for info. Funny thing ...
Having re-read JCBiver's response...
.... it may be easier than I am thinking, to change the strap. Just unscrew those two screws should do it, according to him. Well, it is better these days in Tokyo, but it is very cold winter all over the country including Tokyo.... How is HK - cooler/ co...
Its easy...
Its really easy to change the strap, the only thing is that Hublot does not sell the screwdrivers which stops people from doing it. I have heard of people breaking screws, scratching watches, messing up the screws when trying to change the strap, but anyo...
screwdriver and straps extra...
Hi Anthony, I have only ever seen 2 or 3 editions (all big bang) which came with an extra strap/tool and these were not recent ones. Its not like Panerai which most come with the tool and diving strap in the box, in fact I bought a King Power screwdriver ...
Central gear and tourbillon
Hello E.S. Sorry for delay. I have confirmed with Hublot. The central gear is for decorative purposes and the tourbillon is in-house. Hope this helps! Thank you for your patience. Best, Ken
