Aviator "F-Series" Watch: Battery change, Black Strap Repair & other Brown Strap options?

Got this Aviator watch as a gift, it’s been sitting inside due to this strap thing and post pandemic I just came across it needing some love.

  • Likely needs a battery replacement (Mumbai offline or online options?

  • Black strap has come undone at the buckle and wonder if it can be fixed using stitch and/ or adhesive. If need be I can take better zoomed pics of just the way leather and buckle looks

  • Looking to add a Brown 22 mm strap but given it’s weird thick strap and lug / pin location and design wondering if a typical quick release 22 mm strap will work?

Thoughts on each of the above?
