Tools needed:
Any Blade
Tweezers with a point at the end
If the band just needs to be changed and it is leather, there is a spring bar holding the band to the watch. Using the blade or tweezers, grip the bar between the band and the lug holding the springbar in place. You can be as aggressive as you want to considering that you probably do not care about the band that is being replaced.
As you grip the spring bar, push downward so it is free from the lug and maneuver it out of the way of the lug. If you break the spring bar, go get a new one at a watch repair shop. They should only be a dollar or two.
Prior to putting the spring bar into the new band, widen the hole in the band so the spring bar can fit through easily. Once the spring bar is in the band, line it up with the holes that it initially came out of and maneuver it back into place.
If your watch band is metal, check to see if it is curved so it is flush against the case or flat across. If it is flat, follow the instructions as above. If it is curved, it is probably best to have it repaired by a watchmaker. |
