Step 2: Install the new watch strap:

Take the new watch strap and place one end into the top clasp of the watch.

Use the small pliers to hold the spring bar and push it into the hole on the clasp until the bar is securely in place and not loose.

Step 3: Adjust the watch strap:

If the new watch strap is too long, you can adjust it by removing some spring bars at the strap ends to shorten it.

Use the spring bar tool to push the spring bar out of the strap end and then pull the watch strap through another strap end to adjust the length.

Step 4: Check and finalize:

After installing the new watch strap and making necessary adjustments, carefully check if the strap is securely attached and safe by gently shaking the watch.

Ensure that the spring bars are correctly inserted and not loose.

Note:

During the process of replacing a metal watch strap, be careful not to scratch or damage the watch face or the watch strap. If you are not confident in performing this procedure, you can take your watch to a watch shop and have a professional watchmaker replace the strap for you.
