We recently repaired a customer's watch as requested.
This time, we replaced the battery and the strap.
The watch had been worn daily since its purchase,
and the strap was quite damaged.
Replacing the strap at the same time as the battery change is an important point for caring for your watch and ensuring its long-term use.
Previously, the customer used a matte black strap,
but they boldly changed it to a glossy brown to alter the watch's image.
The watch's look changes so dramatically that it feels like getting a brand new watch.
This particular strap is compatible with Cartier's genuine D-buckle,
the only drawback being that only specially designed straps can be attached.
Ordering a strap from the manufacturer costs nearly 60,000 yen,
and since it's custom-made, it takes about 3 months for delivery.
Among the "CASSIS" straps handled by our store,
we offer a lineup of straps for brands like Cartier, Breitling, and IWC that are not commonly sold as off-the-shelf products.
This "Tank-specific" strap is also very well-received and popular.
For leather straps with unique shapes, purchasing outside of the manufacturer often meant they had to be custom-made.
While the variety of leather types may not be extensive,
the ability to obtain such straps as off-the-shelf products has made it a bit easier to own vintage watches and current models.
Strap replacement is just as important as watch repair for a wristwatch.
If you're troubled by the strap on your watch,
please feel free to consult us!
