    I can confirm this is the best method. Worked in 5 seconds.

    After eons of messing with watches in the past, I will never go back to the old method. Thanks so much.

    Awesome tip. My strap was pretty stiff, so I had trouble pulling down hard enough without the floss ripping into my hand. Wrapping it around the rubber grippy part of a pen gave me plenty of leverage and worked like a charm, in case anyone has the same issue.
    Thanks again!

    Thank you so much. The first one took a little wiggle but by the second time it was a breeze. Even the Tudor AD and the Service Center didn’t know how to remove the super tight strap on my Black Bay Ceramic. It’s such a relief. Super clean!

    Worked like magic! Used a needle threader to pull floss through, but a needle would work also. Glad I looked on here to find the best way. This is it!

    Thanks for this clear video. Was wondering how to change the strap myself without scratching the casing and damaging the strap. There are a few on CZcams about this but yours is by far the best. Just the right amount of info. Great close ups to see what is going on and relaxed friendly narration style. And I very much appreciated you showing how us to put the strap (back or replacement )on as well!

    Wonderful idea! While dental floss failed, I used 10lb fishing monofilament line, which is much more durable. The spring bar popped out with a slight pull. Tip: Use garden gloves to protect your hands and for steadiness. A white dish towel under your work area helps.

    This is by far the easiest method for changing straps! Thanks for sharing it with us, it was a breeze to change some stubborn straps on my watches :D

  • @uzoamakaesan1617
    @uzoamakaesan1617 Před 5 měsíci +1

    you are amazing!!! i have looked all over the internet to see how to remove my versace icon active silicone watch strap. this trick is a life saver!!!

  • @michaelpaullallyschott7643

    BRILLIANT little hack!! Even more important than protecting the leather strap is preserving the beautiful case and lug material (especially with karat-gold material!) and I will definitely be trying this cool tip out! Hopefully the old mechanical watches have spring bars!?!?

  • @ericgen1231
    @ericgen1231 Před 2 lety

    WOW! You are a GENIUS! I struggled and struggled until I tried your method. The strap came off in a matter of SECONDS! THANK YOU!!!

  • @ericchang9568
    @ericchang9568 Před 3 lety +1

    doesnt seem to work if you want to remove a steel watch bracelet? the gaps seem too small for you to be able to fold the floss and pass it through?

    Where the heck have you been hiding? It's not the strap I care about, it's the underside of the lugs that's been scratched despite putting protective tape. This method is brilliant! I thought your accent sounded familiar too.
