Halios Pre-order is just a few hours away............Who's In ????????????

[GoDawgs2011]

I was one of the crazy ones who put in an order for a Black Laguna literally within an hour after ordering opened up (wanted to make sure I got one). In any case, like an even crazier person, I've now bought 3 straps for a watch that I have never seen in person, let alone worn before haha.

Then I woke up this morning and realized that I have never in my life switched out a strap on a watch before, and from what I've read, changing straps on the Laguna seems to be more difficult than most as is. Can any one give any special tips (beyond what's already been discussed on these forums/Jason's video for getting the bracelet back on) or maybe even recommend a really really cheap watch which has a similar spring bar set up that I could practice on?

Thanks!

Don't know what to say: i changed one of my Laguna's over to a Omega mesh and it was a b't to get off! I used a spring bar tool with a bit of a hook on it, to pry against the spring bar in the opening rather than punching into the space or even scratching down with some flat head varieties.... it still took some time... (btw: take a valium before, so you don't hurl the watch across the room... or stiff drink might work to calm one's nerves)

LOL. That bracelet does like to stay put. Once you have it off though, other strap swaps are no problem at all. Its just the bracelet that is a really tight fit and requires some patience. I don't ever wear bracelets so its no issue for me

are there still no pictures of the blue laguna just 4 days before shipping? or did i miss something?

My guess is that perhaps you can wait to order the blue after you see the photos from the fellow WUS members. I'm a bit surprised that Jason hasn't offered a camera shot though. Blue is one of these colors that can have so many different hues to it. I'm glad that I already have a blue watch so that I'll be satisfied with the black.

Blue could be a stunner though. The blue dial face Bluering was an awesome colour!

Thanks Zenrag and ....... Wish me luck and lets hope its not as bad as I'm imagining...or else there's going to be some 22mm straps on sale in the near future haha

Its hard at first but once you get the hang of it, it should be easy. Good luck! :)
