Hi all - just got a Crafter Blue strap (CB10) for my SKX, but it doesn't take standard Seiko fat springbars.
I've read what I need is 22x1.78 with Seiko sized 1.1 mm tips - does anyone have any to unload or a source for good quality ones?
Thanks,
Anthony

Re:
Terry used to stock them. He might have some left kicking around. Worth an ask.
I’m actually more surprised Crafter Blue didn’t make the mold to accept Seiko diver spring bars as that strap is specifically made for the SKX case. I’m pretty sure the Crafter Blue I have for my Shogun accepts fat bars.

^^^Actually the CB strap for the Shogun is also the skinny fat spring bars. At least mine is.
Re:
Could be. I haven't taken mine off since I installed it a couple years ago. I bought it as soon as it was released.
I'm actually wearing it now, so if I get a moment I'll take a look. It has gotten me curious.
Re:
Again, I’d ask Terry first. There is an eBay seller as well but I forgot his name. I’m sure someone here remembers.

Thanks all. Yes a bit of a look around reveals that some of these straps accept the regular Seiko fats and others don't... Even though they are all made for Seiko watches. Pretty annoying and frankly a stupid way to produce a niche product like this one... Anyway, now I know!Ryeguy wrote:Confirmed. Skinny fats in my Crafter Blue.
