Changing a leather strap is a relatively simple operation, and here are the steps:
1.Prepare the tools: Changing a leather strap requires a number of tools, including a screwdriver, strap pin, or a small tip.
2.Check how the strap is attached: First check how the strap is attached, some are screwed in place, while others are connected using a spring rod. Depending on the connection method, different operation methods are adopted.
3.Release the spring lever: If your strap is connected with a spring lever, use a strap pin or tip to insert the spring lever out of the slot in the case and gently push the spring lever to release the strap. Then, repeat this step until all spring rods are released.
4.Unscrew the screws: If your strap is screwed, use a screwdriver of the appropriate size and unscrew the screws counterclockwise. Be careful not to injure the case or screws.
5.Remove the old strap: You can gently remove the old strap from the case after loosening the spring stem or unscrewing the screws.
6.Install the new band: Insert both ends of the new strap into the slots of the case, making sure the band is in full contact with the case. If you use a spring rod attachment, you need to insert the spring rod out of the slot of the case using a strap pin or a small tip, and then gently push the spring rod to secure the strap. If it is screwed, use a screwdriver to tighten the screws clockwise to secure the strap to the case.
7.Check the installation: Once you have installed your new band, you need to check that it is secure. Gently tug on the strap to make sure it doesn't loosen or show signs of falling off. If the strap is loose, you can reinsert the spring lever or tighten the screws.
These are the steps to change the leather strap. It is important to note that care should be taken when performing this operation to avoid damage to the watch. If you are unsure about your operation, consult a professional or take your watch to a professional repair shop for a replacement.
