Help needed: Changing of leather Strap
« on: January 19, 2019, 07:55:05 AM »
This is my very 1st time changing a strap.
I just invested in a strap removal tool.
I can't get the tool through the gap between the lug and the leather strap (it is virtually no gap actually). Or perhaps, it seems like the tip of the tool is too thick.
Is there any technique that the sifus here can guide me?
Thank you so very much in advance

Pull the strap a little to reveal the spring bar

I did...
as mentioned, the tool is not able to be squeeze into the gap between the lug and strap.
Tried pulling the leather but afraid I might damage the spring bar and the leather.

You may sent to service center, anyway what's the brand of the watch?
