Got home last night and took off my jacket to feel something flapping around my wrist. The thought of having my standard strap on this (changed them a week ago) and losing this watch makes me ill to think about!
The spring bars are original to the watch as far as I can tell The bar that gave out was still in the strap and it appears to be fine. I replaced it with a different one I had that might have slightly more spring in it. I dont know. I have it back on my wrist this morning and I have pulled and twisted it every which way and I can't get either of the bars to come off. just a fluke thing I guess.
