Old videos always straight to the point. No annoying ads or sponsors and pointless talking.. Thank you!

My whole life was a lie. Thank you, very useful video

Great advice. Applies to leather belts with buckles as well!

thank you it's been like 7 hours of me trying to get my watch out

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.

OMG! And I got 'A's in High School and they NEVER taught me this. In my second life I want you as my teacher. This was the Bomb!

Even after 10 years, it's still helpful 👍

It's the simple things that can make a huge difference. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

THANK YOU - I spent 45 minutes looking around online until I found this - EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!

Thank you so much. You are the type of watch expert that every watch-wearer needs

so simple but so effective....thanks for sharing :)

thanks feller this was a great tip. my severe autism and lack of a father figure really got in the way of my desired watch-wearing life style.

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.

My hand was litterslly stuck for so long and this guy has just helped me take it of

Thanks so much for making a video on a thing I was afraid to ask!

Simple and geinus video ! I used to bend the leather like you're demonstration of the wrong way, now i don't have to damage my leather strap everytime i get it off. huge thanks.

Dafuq.. that huge buckle & super thick strap consumes ur whole wrist.. So uncomfortable to look at.

Very helpful, took me a second to realize i could've been taking off my watch easily, really helped thanks

Holy shit!! You make my life so easy!! It was so hard especially when the leather is fresh from the oven. So tight and hard to wear it

absolute legend my grandpas watch got stuck on my wrist and the leather was super old and crunchy so it was much more difficult to remove it with the normal method

Cool. Awesome video. Im obsessed with watches. Needed this bit of knowledge

Useful, short and sweet. Thanks for saving the leather man!

This is a life changing advice. Thanks for the video

thank you so much, my watch was so tight on my wrist my hand was literally turning blue.

thanks for this. i just bought a watch and i was thinking how to preserve the leather strap and saw this

Breau that was awesome man. Why nobody ever told me this, omg

That’s some seriously thick strap!

This is what I do too: for both my straps and belts. This is why other people's straps last 1-2 years and mine has last almost indefinitely. Always slide, never bend.

Can you do one for how to wear it without chipping

Thank you, it's 1am and my hand is finally free

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.

Thank's for the tip! Great video

I really appreciate your help, you saved me a lot of time!

Bought a new watch today. I'm sure this tip will extend the strap's life

This helped me so much thanks for the video🔥

I knew there had to be a better way. Thanks a ton!

THE most overkilled strap I have ever seen Just perfect for INVICTA x-P

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.

Should have watched this before I did the 1st two take off. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks so much I was actually searching for this typed video because my watch was stuck and you saved it thank you

Thanks for this! If I had a son, I would teach him this!

I do the exact things I shouldn't! Thank you for the video.

Great tip, always did it the wrong way, now I know how to preservar the watch strap. si kind from You to share us the tip , best regards. by the way I subscribed.

It was stuck for 3 years and finally it’s off

@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

Thank you I really needed this hahah

Lol at that buckle looks goofy way to thick. I use a sam brown button stud for my straps eliminates any wear points.

Thank you sir for this help.

Hi, the watch in the video is a Helson Shark Diver. Thanks! Cheers Rob Montana

Very helpful thanks. Nice video

Thank you so much this is exactly what I was searching for

Thx now I can take off my watch

I actually learned something, thank you

That watch strap is thiccc, very nice strap

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..

Thank you😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Thank you very much, your video is very useful

Fam. Thank you. Cuz I was like how do I get this off of me without breaking something? hahaha

That watch strap buckle looks ridiculous 😂

Helps when you have a 30mm strap and a 10mm tang lol. Wow that’s a massive strap! Good tip though 👍🏻

This is the ultimate leather strap watch lifehack

@c4thgolf Hi, it is the Helson Shark Diver. Thanks for watching. Cheers

Thank you so much it was simple and very useful video

Thats it, thats the strap I want. I have been checking your site for that strap and I can't figure out which model it is? Also, can you make this strap for a Rolex Submariner?

I can't believe that so many people haven't been doing this, and that you had to make a video to show them....... Anyway, well done. If you could make a video to teach Americans how to use a knife and fork too, that would be great.

Still helpful in 2024

Me watching this to figure out how to put a watch on

Wow. Thank you so much for this tip.

Thanks! Great tip!

Thanks for this!!

That's great advice thanks, My new leather strap is just a little tight. Can a good leather strap be stretched a bit? , Thanks Billy

Those are the thickest leather strap I have ever seen.

thanks, awesome tips

good advice

Thank you very much for the tip man!

i'm watching this while my watch stuck in my hand

Pin bucke should be avoided, it ruins the strap easily, fold clasp deployant is the best option

You have a saddle around your wrist man. Not to mention the huge cowboy belt buckle sized buckle. Not even a panerai would look good with that strap.

Wow great info

How long would a leather strap last if you use it regularly? Like 5 years?

That looks like a waist belt molded into watch strap

Thank you so much.

How do you stop the keeper from moving

What a great video thank you

Thank you for the tip!

Thank you for your help🙏

Huh, good stuff

Should I apply mink oil to my leather band to keep it supple?

Yay! I've been doing it right!

Thank you

Thanks for the tip 👍

Bro still got a bloody bend mark in his strap

I'd like a strap exactly as in the video. Which model strap?

Thanks a lot great video

Thanks

Nice tip..

very very helpful!

Good tips

感謝你啦，那手錶我拽來拽去也拽不掉😢
