Q: I have a technomarine watch with a clear gel strap, i wouldlike it to change the strap into a pink one. My technomarine watch is Technomarine Apnea TMAXS05. Thanks!!

A: You need a special tool to do this without scratching up your watch or ruining you band. Call a bunch of jewelers and see what they would charge to change the strap. Don't be afraid to tell them that you're pricing around. The second there's a little competition in the air, they drop the price. Go figure. It shouldn't cost more than twenty bucks, so say the last jeweler you called told you they'd do it for thirty bucks.

Hope this helps.

Q: Gel straps of technomarine watches tend to discolor after several use. its too expensive not to "revive" them. please help!

A: The asker says "Does anybody know . . . ?"

Strictly speaking, the asker wishes to determine whether there is anybody in the whole wide world who knows.

And so, the correct answer to this question is that certainly there is somebody who knows.

The next question probably ought to be "How can I find the person who knows?"
