Dino Zei Strap Change Tip...

[Escapement1]

Hopefully I won't get lynched for this. While staring at my PVD case Nemo with the protruding flat head screws coming out either side I had an idea. When you apply pressure to both sides with screw drivers the watch wants to twist if you push too hard, or the tool slips and scratches your baby if too soft. So I picked up my hardened pocket knife and used the blade for one side and screw driver for the other. It was perfect, and now I change my Dino Glauco and Nemo's at will with no worry. You can angle the blade for good flat contact and my screws stay perfect thanks to no slippage. Using a screw driver with a rotating butt makes it downright fun it's so clean and easy now with the knife blade method. Just thought I'd share Here is a pic of what I mean along with the swapped strap which I LOVE on the Nemo, and a double wrist shot because they compliment each other well and I had the Nemo in hand and TP-52 on wrist...

Thanks on both Sir I swear they design these beauties so the more you buy the more you want... they just get better and better the more you can line up...

Thanks for the "tip".
Now if this trick worked on all the other models it would be great. The worst part of changing straps for me on Anonimo is getting the long screw to make it in the other side of the watch into the lug hole. If you get a strap with loose holes you have the push it around until you get it lined up and if the leather is just a bit too thick you have to push really hard to get it in the hole (I actually bent 1 of my screws doing this).
Like was already mentioned though, those are some great looking watches.

Good tip, but I've gotten used to spring bars and no scratches.

Thanks for sharing the photos! I've been thinking of trying to change the strap on a Dino Zei my self and I think you have inspired me to try.

Thanks, im still trying to find more straps for my Dino. Mine just fell apart, the glue gave out and it just fell off my wrist. Hate to spend 200 bucks for new strap that doesnt even last very long and uses glue. But I dont have much choice, hard to even find a dealer that has them.

That just doesn't sound right at all. They should be stitched and sealed at the edges. The tan strap that came on my Glauco had been through war but was still ship-shape besides some staining. I would contact your AD and show him what you've got. For the prices we're all paying you should not have the legendary Kodiak strap disintegrating on your wrist Sir...

And thanks for all the compliments everyone. I feel truly blessed to have each and every one of these pieces. I was in the Rolex AD today eyeing the new ceramic bezel 2-Tone sub as they were eyeing my TP-52. It's a shame when the customers knowledge of watches outranks the salesperson by leaps and bounds. As the guy is telling me some mess about how only celebrities were given option to buy a San Marco, some nonsense rumor started by Tom Cruise wearing one. He thought I was lying about owning one, hate to tell him but I have two in my family as I bought Clement's for my Father
