Title: Help needed: Changing of leather Strap
Post by: Nickmax 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

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.

It is original strap for the watch
