How do I change the buckle?

1. For buckles with spring bars

In order to release the buckle with spring bars from your watch strap, take a spring-bar tool and using the forked end, place it between the buckle and the strap on one side and push the sprung end towards the center. The spring bar, strap and middle part of the buckle will now be separated from the rest of the buckle.


In order to replace the buckle on your new strap, thread the spring bar through the end of the new strap, remembering the middle piece of the buckle! Place one end of the spring bar into one of the holes on the inside of the buckle, ensuring that the buckle is the right way round, and using the forked end of the spring bar tool, press the other end into the other hole in the buckle. Once again, give the buckle a good tug to check it's firmly secured in place and won't fall off unexpectedly later.

Please noted, you need to make that sure you buy a watch strap with the correct lug width and buckle size.


2. For buckles with side holes

If you can see holes on the side of your buckle, you can also use the pointed end of your spring-bar tool to remove the spring bar by pushing through the hole from the outside. The spring bar should then release from the buckle and the strap will come away.

3. For buckles with screw attachments

Some watch straps will have buckles attached to them with screws. This is obvious from the screw ends visible on the sides of the buckle. In order to remove it, use a small screwdriver. This will release the buckle. You will then need to change the buckle and screw the bar in again.
