Removing a Leather, Nylon, Canvas or Rubber Two-Piece Strap:
Step1:
Lay your watch upside down on the towel and pick up your spring bar tool or screwdriver. We recommend covering the lungs (minus lug holes) with masking or painter’s tape to avoid potential scratching from the tools.
Step2:
Insert forked end of spring bar tool in between the case lug and the strap to catch the shoulder (ridge) of the spring bar.
Step3:
Depress the spring bar by applying pressure with the tool towards the strap and away from the watch case, pressing downward. When the spring bar is clear of the lug, that side of the strap will drop down and out of the watch case. Gently pull the other side of the strap out of the case.
Step4:
Slide watch around and repeat Steps 2-3 to the other half of the watch strap. You’re all done! If the spring bars are in good condition after removal they can be re-used on the replacement band.
