This little topic is offcourse speaking of screw bars/pins for lugs: We will maybe avoid the spring bars/pins discution as they are not subjective to be manipulated with a different screwdriver tip;)
We been speaking for a while about scratches/rips on lugs or even worst...On cases:shock:
Yes we like to change often straps as they give a new look or character to the identity of our watches but sometimes, shacky hands, bad tools or simply uneasy systems on screw bars/pins can cause ugly scars...
So we came out with tricks like teflon tape, paint masking tape and others...
Still: Why fabricants are using so often straight/slotted gaps on the head of the screws? The esthetic?
The flat screwdriver is thin and easy to come out of his place.
The torque applied by repetitive in/out screwing got a tendense to deform the straight screw gaps:(
Your screwdriver can even "drill" it's way around the lug's hole if slightly coming out of it's place...
Nobody's perfect and it certainly happened to many of us...
We don't meet this problem with hexagonal sockets on screws: The tool stay in place and you don't break a sweat when approching your watch with it...
I propose hexagonal tips but other ideas are welcome!
Are you agree? Well, let's hear your meanings folks and thank you for reading!
