an incoming Seawolf with the baton markers. Does it take the exact same bracelet as the older model Seawolf? I just don't know if they placed the holes on the lugs exactly the same as they did for the older Seawolf. I thought I was buying a Heritage 46 and jumped on a leather strap with a deployant that I'll have to sell now, I wish they had the same lug width. I may keep the deployant and sell just the strap or would I be better off selling it with the deployant?

I guess that brings me to yet another question, how do you get the strap off? I of course know that the short side is a spring bar but is the long side crimped on?





Here's the strap, nicely worn in but no sweat marks.

Not the same bracelet because old one was titanium and new one is steel.

Leather deployant is just friction fit, you can slide it out.

Thanks Roff, I used to own a SS Seawolf with the Arabic markers. So that one will fit okay correct? Do you think I should sell the strap complete with the deployant or will the strap on it's own sell?

It will fit. Not sure that there's much market in used straps, it's the deployant that will make the sale.

Thanks again Roff. I kind of thought that would be the case.

As for getting the bracelet off. I use the FB-504. It works wonderfully.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

I'd love to get one of those but I was referring to the strap. It is real tight in the deployant clasp. I really, really like the clasp but as Roff mentioned, selling the strap on it's own will take forever.

By the way, were you referring to the pliers? If so that's the one I really want, I watched a video showing them being used, they work incredibly well.

Well, maybe.

I've tried them and loathe them with a passion. Bergeon 6767F works well, is dirt cheap, much easier to manoeuvre and (for me), quicker.

Really, I will have to check them out. I guess they can make anything look good in a video.

May just be me, a few other people ahve got on with them, I just really don't like them and find that they over engineer what is a fundamentally simple task.

The only feedback I've seen is on the promo video. I'd rather go with someone that has used them.
