Maybe I misunderstood, thought you were ordering a complete strap. Didn't understand what you meant by "metal retainers" before, but I think you're referring to the strap loops. I believe TAG Heuer went with metal to give it a NATO strap kind of look. Do they come off of the OEM strap? On most straps and NATOs, one of the loops is usually sewn into the strap.
