Pins and collars... grrr

[Jeff_C]

So I think whoever designed the new fad of pin and collar connections for bracelets should be flogged wirh raw bacon .

That said does anyone know of a source for pretty generic pins and collars?

Completely agree with the notion that pins and collars are royal pain in the arse.

Otto Frei: I've not shopped here, but found them when I was thinking of getting a half link for one of my bracelets:

Good luck!

Nah, they're not that bad. I bit tricky, yes, but I much prefer the pin collars than straight push pins. And it's one of the safest system, much safer than screws IMO. I use to hate them too, but I got use to them and i have no problems adjusting them now.

Yobokies sells them too, if you need it for a Seiko.

Have fun! : )

I don't mind the pins and collars Omega uses, but I HATE screws.

I didn't mind then either until I accidently dropped a collar on the carpeted floor and spend the next 30 minutes trolling for it with a magnet..........

It's also quite likely that Cousins have them, but it's not easy finding stuff on the Cousins website -

Been there done that so I purchased a chair mat @ my desk @ home & now I will only wrk over my desk.
