    HI all, I'm awaiting delivery of my NOS 3548 and thought I'd try and get a rubber strap. I have been given a rubber strap on approval, but the quick release button is missing. Is it possible to replace the button?

    Hi Bydandie,
    They can be replaced on metal bracelets but not on straps.
    The strap should be exchanged.

    Could somebody show me a picture of this? I haven't seen a quick release button on a rubber strap before and would like to know what it looks like.

    Kind regards,

    Clemens

    Thanks Alan. I didn't know the 3548 Aquatimers already had such a quick release system.

    Kind regards,

    Clemens

    Hi Clemens,
    The 3548 used a button as below.
    Not quite 'quick release' as the lug bar has to be pushed simultaneously.
