How to change a leather watch strap?
After wearing a leather strap for a long time, wear and tear is inevitable. If the strap is not replaced in time, it is not only unsightly but may also cause the watch to be lost. So, how can we replace a leather watch strap? Below, Xiaoya will introduce the method for replacing a leather watch strap, and everyone is welcome to learn.
How to replace a leather watch strap
1, we need a strap removal tool. This item has two ends: one is U-shaped for removing spring bars, and the other is pointed for clearing strap holes. If you do not have the tool, a flathead screwdriver and a toothpick can actually serve as substitutes. As a brief background note, the rod-like component installed here is called a spring bar, which is the pin located inside the strap. Both ends feature springs to make it easier for us to install.
2, remove the old strap. Use the U-shaped end of the tool to catch the small protrusion on one end of the spring bar, then press downwards to compress the spring and shorten the spring bar so we can take it off. Then you can install the new strap. First, punch through the strap (the new one is now installed...), fit the spring bar, press down on one side of the spring bar, position the spring bar into the hole on the watch, and mission accomplished.
Precautions for replacing a leather watch strap
When purchasing a strap, you must measure the exact width of the original strap. Note that straps with straight ends are generally easier to replace; if they feature a notched or non-standard shape, you may need a custom piece or a modification.
Note that for convenience when putting it on and taking it off, you must place the short section of the strap with the buckle on the upper side of the watch, and the long section on the lower side, just like the image in floor 10. Otherwise, single-handed operation will be rather awkward.
How to care for a leather watch strap
1, keep it clean: remove and clean it regularly, wiping it with a soft cloth can increase its lifespan.
2, ongoing maintenance: wipe the watch clean as soon as it gets dirty, especially leather straps, trying to avoid them becoming saturated with sweat.
3, avoid exposure to sunlight: leather straps must not be exposed to the sun for long periods, so they should not be left inside a car. The suitable temperature is between 5 degrees and 35 degrees.
