Hey Everyone.

I finally got my SNPR Strap today that I've been eagerly anticipating. Unfortunately, after an hour (literally) of trying, I've given up trying to get the short side with the buckle mounted to my Avenger Sea Wolf. It appears the hole that the spring bar goes into is too big and the strap is slightly too wide which results in the spring bar not being able to catch the hole inside the lug. I can get one side in, but the other simply will not go in. I have 8 watches, all of which I've never had a single issue changing the straps and bracelets on, this strap simply won't go on. Any idea's what to do?

What is SNPR, can you post a pic of the issue, might be an easy way to help you. Does the spring bar not go all the way through the strap?

The spring bar goes all the way through, the whole is just too big around (the strap is the right width), so it pretty much engulfs the spring bar making it next to impossible for the spring bar to catch the hole in the lug.

Sorry, but without pics I think we're really going to struggle to understand the problem from the description. I can't visualise how too large a spring bar hole in the strap will prevent the bar from engaging in the lug holes on the case......

Owning a jewelry store, I install straps all the time and I am having trouble trying to figure this one out without a pic.

Wow I wish I saw this thread before purchasing your SNPR strap, please get back to me ASAP. I've sent you a PM regarding your strap that I received today.
