Aftermarket strap fit

[golfski]

I’ve bought two after market straps, one from AP Bands and another from Strapaholic. I have had a hard time getting the strap on the watch, it just doesn’t seem like it lines up to get the screw all the way through. I actually bent my screw trying to force it �� and scratched my case with a slip of the screw driver ��.

It doesn’t seem like it should be that hard! Any advice on how to get them to fit? Should I just stick with OEM at $290 a pop?

Also, any place in particular you recommend picking up extra screws? I was able to bend it back and get my OEM strap back on, but probably wont wear it until I get new screws in there.
