Connector for Gator strap... Super engineered or product defect?
Hey Everyone, Richard Mille uses a proprietary connector & screw system to attach / change the band on their watches. Just curious about your e xpectations for a new Gator band and your real world experience. a OK, You're at the store purchasing a new Gat...
Very difficult to answer
First, for your first post, it would be nice to present yourself even shortly. Anyway, welcome on our forum bendannie. Concerning your question, I would start by saying all depends on the wearing habits: Do you wear this watch once a week? 6 days a week? ...
It all depends on how you treat your alligator strap

What kind of connector?
Hi Bendannie, What kind of connector are you talking about? Which material? That would be interesting to know.... Theodore
Connector
Hello bendannie, OK, so this is one of the new(er) titanium connectors. Normally they are tough as nails, so it is not so typical that yours went wrong. The older ones did give a lot of issues at one time (which is what I first thought about) as they had ...
