Also a massive money saver. Better to have multiple straps for a watch than buying more watches. Cool One Piece nod 😊cheers.
Nothing money saving about buying a bunch of ugly nato straps and scratching the lugs of your watch
So true. Cheers
Quick release strap superiority.
Def prefer it when I can
Pro Tip: If you’ve never done this, some spring bars are easy to get to, some are very hard to get to.
Take your time, be careful, you don’t want to slip and scratch your watch.
Also, a high quality spring bar tool will work WAY better than than a cheap one. A cheap one is $1-$3 or even free with some straps. An “expensive” one is $10 to $20.
A $20 Bergeon is the best (from what I’ve heard after watching 100+ hours on the topic) and I finally bought one and wow… it is a WORLD of difference from the cheap ones that came with straps I’ve bought. Or the one that came with the watch repair kit I bought on Amazon.
I bought a TOP rated watch repair kit on Amazon with 15 different tools and many extra parts/pieces including a spring bar tool for only $18. It was honestly an EXCELLENT purchase, but the spring bar tool wasn’t great.
I didn’t think it made sense to spend $20 on something I already had, especially when $20 for 1 tool was more than I spent on a whole kit with 15 tools, BUT… it was absolutely worth the $20.
Just trust me.
Have fun out there.
Changing straps is the MOST common thing you’ll do and a great spring bar tool makes it 10 times faster and easier.
It can also turn a 3 watch collection into a 30 watch collection.
Get yourself 5+ NATO straps, a black leather strap, a brown leather strap, a metal mesh bracelet, a couple colorful silicone straps, maybe a sailcloth strap, and poof…
3 watches is now 30 watches. Especially if your watches have the same lug width! Then you can mix and match the same straps on different watches.
Thanks for the tip! I have been looking for a good spring bar tool.
Me hunting around the floor for an hour trying to find the spring bar that flew out 🤣
LOL true
Man always thanks for your content greetings from Siberia
GLad it was helpful friend!
Another great "how-to." Two things to watch out for: you might want to use that cloth to prevent that spring bar from springing off into the nether regions of the room, leading to Dog-knows how many minutes searching for it. Also a good idea *not* to attempt removal with the watch on its side. (You know the saying - it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.)
Thanks! So true. A flashlight helps "sparkle" the springbar, but not always a sure shot. And you're right about not trying to remove it on its side, I have had a couple of lil accidents
Hey man would be really helpful if you can do a short about how to change metal bracelet next. Much love dude
The first time i needed an hour to put the metal bracelet on Haha.
Will do :)
Steps too complicated.
Somehow ended up committing war crimes in albania
😂😂😂😢
😂
This was so useful. Thank you so much! Just saved me 20 bucks and a trip to the repair shop!!❤
I know this is super basic stuff, but I just bought a Casio Duro this week and it's my first watch aside from a cheap Timex Weekender and I didn't know how to put a new strap on so thanks for the short simple video!
It's only simple if you've done it a bunch before. But at first it is a bit confusing and intimidating so no problem. Feel free to ask any questions you might have.
Great little one piece nod
Yes Sir! Great Quick Tutorial. It’s like having a new watch.
Thanks changed my strap after following your instructions.
The hardest part is to avoid scratching the watch case
The tool is not always needed, sometimes you can do it with your nail. But you can also do it with a small screwdriver or other like object.
True, but that's a bit more advanced tbh
one piece straps would sell like hot cakes though
Just a cool guy who make us happy ☺ Thanks very much!!
Thanks bro,it worked
Thanks
Tysm, Boxcutter blade works perfects to pull bar back.
Lotsa Minecraft sound effects! Great tutorial
Thanks 😊😊😊😊
Once you start, you can't stop😂
So true
Thanks man for help i didn't had the thing that you used so guess what ? I used a razor blade to take that strap out well i got 2 razor cuts on my finger in the process but atleast i got my watch straps changed lol anyways thanks for the help
Thanks bro , it helped
I used a fork. Tool is not required but helpful!!!
Absolutely, but it def helps
Quick release for the win. Fuck old school straps
Thank you so much bro❤️
This is great! Can you show us how to remove steel bracelets from watches like the Hydroconquest please?
Sure, will do a video on it. But basically similar to a leather strap, except you first want to undo the buckle, then remove the strap from the lugs
@@ChronometerCheck I know what the goal is but I just can't get the lugs out without it popping back in the other side. I have no problem at all changing any other strap or component, but I never, ever managed to get one of those mfs out. I'd love my Longines on a Nato or Rubber strap so some nights I watch tv while destroying my hands trying and never succeeding. I'm sure there's a smart ass somewhere with a trick for it so if anyone of you is lonely enough to have read all of this up to this sad, forgotten point, please help me. And then help yourself and try and make some friends. But first help me, please. Thank you 🥲
Thank you.
Where did you get the leather strap that was on the hamilton auto? 🗿
What springbar tool ? Which company makes best?
Really like the gray strap on the SRPB43. Could you tell me the name of it?
Any recommendations on where to buy straps?
Recently opened a strap shop myself (www.ChronometerCheck.com) and carry quite a few different types, but I'm happy to provide other suggestions if there's something you're looking for that you can't find!
@@ChronometerCheck I will surely try yours , good luck with the shop and the channel!
This is harder than it looks.
cool i bought a cheap reliable watch but the strap is only the former so i figured i might as well change it
Seems simple… but it takes me like 10 minutes and a lot of cursing lmao
Hahah, yeah, it's a bit difficult at first. But you'll get the hang of it.
Nice vid
Thanks friend
there any home alternatives?
From the average Joe - thank you
Hey please suggest me some excellent leather straps on a tight budget
Hirsch (sell them in my shop), Fluco (I don't sell them but incredible value), Etsy also has great options, though sometimes hit or miss
@@ChronometerCheck thanks. But just one query. I live in a third world country and we can find straps for essentially 1usd too. So the crux is that 60usd is a huge amount of money for a strap according to me. Would you suggest that i invest in a 60usd strap ?
I have Casio mtp 200 metallic watch can i change to leather strap?? Is it possible how to choose size??
Where did you get the brown (with white stitching) strap that’s on the Hamilton Auto?
Hos i remove a metal watch strap without tool?
Hi what band did you put on the Seiko? Seemed dark green/grey/black, and where did you get it?
I remove straps using a thin knife. To install the new one, I use my fingernails
where do i buy new straps?
You can use a thin knife
Are SARV003 and SCVE051 good ?
❤❤❤Hamilton❤❤❤
Anyone know what Seiko that is?
