Too bendy, I'd imagine. I *think* that most strap pins are kind of standard-ish, and if I know what spec to order most watchsmiths could sort me out. Just a bit nervy of turning up with a rep at a watch repair place. Some are a bit funny about it - what I'd like is someone to give me a description so I could just order a few...
