Thanks you, I stopped wearing watches for 3 years, but all my previous ones straps would always break... So after buying a new watch yesterday, I thought I would look up a better way of taking the watch off and putting it on.

I have many thick leather straps like that for several of my 30 watches. I have changed all of the buckles to ones that have a little curve to them so they lay flatter. I use your method to put on and take off my watches. Thanks for the video.

@Thestrapsmith7 жыл бұрын
Hi, it takes some getting used to and not great for typing! It started with Panerai straps, which this one was actually made for) and since the cases are wide and thick it is more proportionate.

@TheGrenadier972 жыл бұрын
Good tip. The bending to feed the strap into the fixed keeper will still cause some strain; i wonder if this suggestion plus free (or floating) keepers will totally cancel the problem without the need for a deployant clasp.
@marksonsparks698 Жыл бұрын
I guess you're right, but the fixed keeper is usually sewed in close to the buckle bar - at least the loop you have to make to insert the strap into it is not nearly so reflex as the "bad way" to insert the prong.
@seabass8154 Жыл бұрын
Yep, but the wear is relatively minimal so there's nothing to worry about. All of my straps have lasted 6 year with no obvious signs of damage.

The buckle on that strap is not made for that thick of leather. I bought a black and tan one similar to that and replaced the buckle with one that laid down on the leather when it was buckled. I do take my watch off like do suggest.

@TheStrapSmith would you kindly advise on how to care for a calfskin leather strap / what best to use in order to get it preserved, but in the same time not making it darken up or get a shinny fininish (it’s a light brown/yellowish colour and I’d like to keep it that way)? Thanks for the buckle tip - I was doing it exactly as I shouldn’t 😄

Could you go into more detail about those particular watch straps? Are they custom or did they come with the watch. Either way they look fantastic, and this is a great tip.( feel a little dumb for not doing this already). thanks

Has anyone else discovered that the ‘spring bars’ that are fitted as standard to their watch are not actually spring bars? Just been trying to change my watch strap and I’ve been to hell and back in the last 2 hours.. My £1.25 special tool from China was useless.. I’ve had to get the mole grips.. There’s an axe in the garage somewhere..
Fam. Thank you. Cuz I was like how do I get this off of me without breaking something? hahaha
