FP Journe replace metal bracelet with leather straps

[solowarrior]

I am wondering does anyone have any experience on replacing the FP Journe metal bracelet with leather straps? Just wondering if this can be possibly done. For example, in the picture below, looks like it just need to remove the two screws on the metal bracelet, then a properly sized leather straps should be able to fit in, right?

I was told by my AD that this can only be done back at the manufacture. And that’s why I dropped the idea of ordering a bracelet.

had no idea fp used their proprietary screws to fasten the bracelet.

curved spring bars must present some type of challenge for the bracelet?


I read in an interview with FP, ~"an independent watchmaker first has to be able to make the correct tool to open my watches."

I would call the nearest boutique and see what they say.
