 The post is bent a bit (normal wear and tear?) - I received the watch face, broken strap and pins in a baggie (one pin was completely broken) from my relative who wanted it fixed (I'm kind of the fix-it guy in the family).

It looks like one end slides onto the post to become a single barbell unit, but it must be pretty tight in order to stay on during normal wear (granted most force is pulling downward and not to the side to pull the bell off).

Anyways, I have ordered a couple new straps in the mail and wanted to get some advice prior to install. The new straps said they come with replacement pins and I assume they are the same as the straps are genuine Casio parts.

Not sure how much you guys repair your own, but I thought it might be worth a try - these pins sure are unique, I have mostly only seen springbar pins.

Have a great weekend!
