I seriously need to buy a loupe!

Maybe pins are not a problem but lugs are! Besides I have possibly found a couple of flaws in the Black Bay Fifty Eight... Simone ...  

Oh my gosh!

It's not rust, just an effect of the super macro photograph! Thanks, for looking and commenting.

Here I am!

It scares me so much how the holes on those beautiful, thin lugs are positioned. So close to the edges... Will they last the presumably very long time I (my successors?) use the watch? What if they are polished every once in a while?!

A loupe is nescesarry

If you are into watches. Two different lenses. ...  

Yes it is, thank you! [nt]

Don't bother - they don't improve the watch and they just depress the viewer!

Fun to collect in their own right, though. Cazalea ...  

Great collection you have there!

I totally agree with you, just sticking it out a little longer without any glass interfering! Cheers, Simone

There's a learning curve to strap changing

You’re just starting. Remember: Use tape around the lugs when changing straps Only do it under good lighting, on a clean desk/table, on a white clean cloth (so you can find any tiny part/screw) Use a proper tool for the job If you have lugs with holes, us... 

Hi René,

Thanks for your advice, it will be very helpful! Unfortunately for my watches, I have been changing straps all my life, using any kind of device, often in a rush, low light etc... The problem now is that I have definitively tired eyesight and need glasses...  

Ohhh, I’m sorry!

It seems that my advice came a little too late 😉 Anyway, I hope it helps a little. Regards. RenĂ©

Never too late!

Great advice! Thanks again!

Yes, a bit!

It is safer underwater and makes "pendant" with the indices colours... This watch is lovely on a bright strap... and weight much less!!!

Oh! I’m glad you use it underwater!

It’s intended use. Wear it in good health. RenĂ©

Thanks René [nt]
