Unless you can get a band that attaches the same way as the old one you are stuck with it.Ok watchaphiles, I'm probably going to buy this watch but would like to put a rubber or silicone band on it.
Is it possible with this type of band mount or am I stuck with a metal band.

Unfortunately that's what I fearedUnless you can get a band that attaches the same way as the old one you are stuck with it.
Sorry none wrong thread deletedWhat is the relevance to timepieces?
Thats great to hear they have such good service. I actually need to get my Seastar serviced so might look them up, do you have a link or number?Not a super flash watch like ones in this thread but I wanted to give Tissot a shout out for their customer service.
My wife gave me a Tissot divers watch for my 40th birthday. When the battery was replaced the first time the jeweler told me it had to go back to Tissot. Not wanting to wait for the watch to be collected from the jeweler I took it in to the Swatch Group office myself. Very cool place. Unassuming office building in the inner suburbs but when you go out of the lift it was like a bond movie scene. Well dressed mature lady sitting behind a desk giving off Moneypenny vibes and behind her a glass window to the service centre with many lab coat wearing minions looking after peoples pride and joy. They are the service agent for a lot of high end brands so there was a high level of security. Very cool place and I felt welcome even as a poorly attired bogan from the east.
Anyway - this time around when I looked up the address I found they offered free shipping to send it in. They sent me an express post pre paid satchel and packing materials to send the watch to them (they insure it so long as you have a lodgment receipt). They then replaced the battery and did a partial service to guarantee the water resistance of the watch before returning it to me via courier all for $100.
