Re: Martu Straps
Are you sure that they haven’t just been closed due to being pressed together tightly? My leather Martu strap looked exactly the same, at first glance. I had to poke a needle through to see the hole. The spring bars were a tight fit too. If you were gentle, you might break through without damaging it.

Re: Martu Straps
How about holding each piece perpendicular to, say, a desktop with the watch end of the strap touching the desk, and then press down firmly to compress the end of the strap and, hopefully, open up the hole for the springbar?

Re: Martu Straps
Yay! it needed some force but it did it I used the round part of spring bar tool I had, I was over nervous because of the material of the strap but I was reassured by Andrea if it goes wrong she sort it

Re: Martu Straps

watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

Re: Martu Straps
Cheers, I've tried umpteen straps on it as I'm not keen on the bracelet but this is the winner for me. I also got a mahogany brown one and the slim vintage same as missF posted as I couldn't decide from the pictures so they'll end up on other watches

Re: Martu Straps
I tried to take a look at the Martu website to look for straps for my new Panerai, having bought from them before and been really impressed by the quality and vfm. However when trying to go to the site I just get a "Secure Connection Failed" message regardless of using Firefox or Microsoft Edge browsers. Interestingly on my Android phone it seems to work ok although I prefer to buy on the PC for security and difficult to see all the photos as well on the small phone screen.
Does anyone else get a similar problem via PC?

Re: Martu Straps
I can get onto from my work PC. It's from a US based server so not sure if that will make a difference?

Re: Martu Straps
You can always buy them from Andrea on eBay Patrick. That’s how I’d been doing it for years before hearing about her website on the forum. Her eBay account name is amtd84.
