    Is strap changing detrimental to the watch case?

    I notice a lot of you B & R owners are changing your straps regularly to give the watch a different look or for use in a certain environment.

    Perhaps not so much with the 01’s or 03,s but watches with spring bars such as the 02’s, I was wondering if repeated and regular strap changing has a negative effect on the pin holes of the watch case making them a tiny bit larger with each change and one day the holes become too loose to hold the spring bars securely?

    Is this possible or if changed carefully and even if regular would not cause any wear to the spring bar holes?

    Thanks.

    Six13- shouldn't have any affect on the watch.
    Pins can be changed.

    Certainly there would be no damage to the holes themselves. If you're not absolutely careful when you remove and replace the pins, you could do some cosmetic damage to the watch case.

    I think it cant damage the watch, and if you need the correct tool it shouldnt damage the pin either
