Hello WRT members my name is Willem I am from the Netherlands I haven’t been around a lot on the forum but did asked some advice in the past which helped me a lot. I started 4 years ago with a seiko 5m42-0e69 I inherited from my father. I could wair it because the bracelet was to small. Seiko did not had spare rubber inserts any more so I had to find donor watches but unfortunately also these rubber bands didn’t last long so had to find another I but this seems to be a original SLQ003 watch strap full length and uncut also found out this strap isn’t produced anymore. Than I came to the idea to find someone who can 3D print the straps and it work out well for me and than the journey began for me. This first picture is how I started 4 years ago. I ended up like this. I found all the 0e60/69 different faces and than started to collect all the different 0e39 faces. So now I can close this chapter. From another angle. -

As requested - tricky to get a clear image of the holes, but you get the idea. Notice the new crystal, another first for me, it's amazing what a new crystal does for an old watch! Oh, and the other bit I'm proud of from an 80y old watch: And photos of the movement too if interested... -

It's a pinion, so no chance of finding one separate from the wheel. Definitely less work to repivot than make a new pinion! (I generally make the whole staff for a balance of pallet fork rather than repivot though.) -

If you look in the notch to the right & blow that up, it does appear to just be the top ridges of the thread for that ring (smaller than the case back thread), as Michael1962 said.
