5 Easy steps to a stylish customized watch strap or buckle change

Whether changing buckles or swapping an old leather strap for a new one, these skills will come in handy.

Step 1
Insert the “V” end of the spring bar tool in between the buckle and the watch strap, with the “V” end of the tool resting on the spring bar. Pushing in a downward motion will allow the spring bar to dislodge from the buckle.

Step 2
Carefully remove the spring bar with a pair of tweezers from the strap dislodging the buckle tongue.

Step 3
Once you have the new strap or buckle, insert the spring bar ensuring that it has passed successfully through the small hole at the end of the tongue.

Step 4
Align the new buckle to the strap and insert the spring bar on one side of the buckle.

Step 5
Gently push down on the spring bar in the same motion that was used to remove the old buckle and the spring bar should slide into place.
