Ok, I see!
But my question was also: Is there any thread there or I dream it? After, everybody is free to use it or not, like on a Pam...happy1.gif

... which after actually checking out what came in the packaging a set of actual lug-screws are included with the BronzMO along with the springbars...DOH!

The screw bars are included, with instructions to use them only with a medium hold thread-locker glue. The spring bars are more secure because the threaded bar will come unscrewed and fall out and you will damage or lose the watch. so if you want to use the threaded screw bars, use a medium hold thread locker.

I shipped all the steel and bronze Morays on the spring bars because I know many people do not have thread-locker at their house. and not everyone has a 1.5mm driver to use on the small bars, but the spring bars are easy to use.

TY Guys!

...the springbars are the way to go imo...I have made about a half dozen strap swaps already and the ease of use is awesome...they also serve you better in the long run as the screws and threaded lug holes could strip if not done properly,not to mention scratched lugs!...Great job Steve!
