How to change / remove a watch strap without tools!

Such an honest teacher - explains well and slowly enough to understand. Thank you.

[@NordicWatchChannel]

Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it, really :) Glad to hear it was useful.

[@andym3603]

This is such a great video. I just wanted to switch out bands & had no extra pins. If I didn't cut myself, break a nail or scratch my watch I'd end up losing the pins! This is simple & easy & saved me from having to buy a package of pins just to use 2. I used waxed dental floss & the pin stuck to it until I needed to attach it to the band. No more lost pins! Thanks so much!

[@NordicWatchChannel]

My pleasure mate! Glad to hear that it was useful :)

[@mojobena]

Dental floss broke, as did 15-lb fish line!

[@to_the_point947]

My problem last night was a battery that thought it was a jumping bean! Still haven't found the bloody thing!

[@to_the_point947]

Andy, I got a needle and just picked at the floss - it eventually loosened up OK.

[@Naku-SomewhereYouAreNot]

Wow, that was a demonstration I put to use half-way through the video. I had a band that was so tight, I couldn't get a tool in between the leather. That's what made me look for some youtube advice. This works fantastic. I'll never bother even attempting any other way forever. No scratches and simple as hell! Thank you so much!

[@anthonygiambruno4487]

Thank you for being the only video that fully explained the pin mechanism and how it worked for leather and silicone straps. Every other video I watched nobody would explain how it worked what to do even with the tools and their video angle was from the side so it’s not looking down at the watch so you have no idea what they’re doing so thank you for being a confident human being, and obviously you’re very knowledgeable that you could teach it and do it without even using tools. I can’t stress it enough thank you because I was literally struggling for the last hour.

[@NordicWatchChannel]

Thanks for the kind feedback mate! Really glad to hear that this video helped you :)

[@nalinakandasamy743]

The floss trick worked like a charm in no time. This was after 20 minutes of trying unsuccesfully to remove the straps with a newly ordered spring bar tool. Great work! Thank you 😊

💯👌 agreed! Simple and well “filmed” demonstration! Congrats! Have got question @NordicWatchChannel , are your 2 Stitch Straps only available in 20 mm ? Tudor BB Pelagos is 22 or GMT ! Do you have it available plus are they curved into “case” ? Leather or Sailcloth or kind of the original fabric “nato” for Tudor Pro a black with yellow stripe or Black with red/burgundy stripe Do you sent it to Portugal-Algarve ? No discounts …. Colareb leather straps are top ! And less expensive plus discount… available and free shipping! Kind regards, José

[@NordicWatchChannel]

Thanks for the kind feedback! I think this is a misunderstanding, as I don't sell straps myself. There' a brand in Finland I have referenced sometimes, Noric Watch Straps (I know, the name is very similar and could as well be my brand haha) but I don't sell straps. Colareb are awesome!

[@valentinogreco5780]

This video was fantastic, thank you very much. Explaining to my son, that many times after crudely getting a knife onto the pin, just as I was releasing it, it would shoot off and ping around the room like a Wyle.E.Coyote cartoon and then the long arduous time trying retrace where I thought I saw it disappear, with sometimes a win and quite a few times a loss. Today you showed me something so simple and brilliant that I had to commend you on this very clever idea, that I stumbled across. While looking to buy a watch tool repair kit, I got one watch all fixed without a wait in the mail for a tool kit. Absolutely Brilliant. Thanks again. Frank

Nordic man, lovely descriptive English, thank you, I turned to your video when I was struggling to get the spring bar off, the floss worked wonderfully,

Thanks for the kind words! Happy to hear it worked :)

[@UditGhai]

I had a spring bar tool and had damaged my Seiko straps with it and still had issues getting it off. This helped me get it off quickly and without any further damage to watch and strap. fully recommend 👍

[@NordicWatchChannel]

Bummed to hear that you damaged the strap! Glad to hear that you would recommend this method :)

[@terrygray5494]

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.

[@NordicWatchChannel]

Good tips! Thank you for sharing :)

Well said! It will cut your skin like “butter” !

My pleasure mate! It’s actually so handy I use it sometime instead of a spring bar tool😁 I like that it doesn’t damage the strap👍🏻

[@eliskac2173]

[@BruceM8]

Your dental floss technique worked like a charm! Easy and clear. Thanks! Unfortunately, I had to reinstall the spring bars before installing another kind of strap, and in the process broke off the end of one of them, so I guess I'm going to a jewelry store for help.

[@NordicWatchChannel]

[@annatiernan1474]

[@stephenapplex]

I couldn't get the floss thing to work, but from watching this, I realised I had a tool similar to a spring bar tool and managed to get the old strap off Getting the new bracelet on was much more challenging! Took numerous attempts, and many times getting down on the floor to look for the spring bar that had sprung away! :)

[@eeeeesha]

Did you get money back for the damages?

[@eskokomero]

@@eeeeesha I actually did. That was a 1970s Vacheron Patrimony and I got it polished and was given a new strap. The watch is fine. I lived in New York back then and the dude was my drinking buddy, so neither of us was exactly sober back then. -E.K.

[@NordicWatchChannel]

[@shtewps]

What an incredible guide! Worked perfect on my Tissot PR50 Sport where the leather strap is impossibly tight to the lug. No way that's coming off with a tool without damage. The string worked flawless.

[@NordicWatchChannel]

Music to my ears! Thanks for the feedback :)

[@msheraz86]

A very helpful video and the floss method works very well. Just be sure to take enough to wrap around all 4 fingers as this otherwise can slip when trying to wrap around a finger. After removing the strap using this method I actually find changing straps a whole lot easier now.

[@NordicWatchChannel]

I agree, it's easier than fiddling with tools and making scratches🤓 Good tip, thanks for sharing it!

[@noxidleinahtan]

You can wrap the opposite end around a pen or pencil and use that to pull without hurting your fingers.

[@arizonaarmadillo5829]

Except that it doesn't work when the space between the watch and the watchband is too tight to insert the loop... like mine.

[@NordicWatchChannel]

I guess this will happen with some straps. And with bracelets for sure!

[@DavidRamirez-gu5nh]

Thanks for putting out this video! Bought a Seiko alpinist and struggled to get a tool in between the stock strap and onto the spring bar. The spring bars were ridiculously tough to compress. Unfortunately got a very tiny scratch on the case and wanted a different option. Exactly what I needed! Out of curiosity, how many times can you replace straps? Am worried that the holes on the case could get worn out over time.

[@NordicWatchChannel]

My pleasure! Oh well, a tiny scratch never hurt anyone! I don't think it's realistic that they will get that worn out. At least none of my watches have shown that after hundreds of swaps :D

[@bernardor]

This is a great method, surprisingly easy and effective

[@NordicWatchChannel]

Thanks! It's a good way to not damage the straps!

thanks for a truly great video. Changing the straps is not half as complicated as I thought.

[@NordicWatchChannel]

My pleasure mate! It’s really easy once you do it one time :)

[@ricardoherrera8662]

I have a number of takeaways from your video. I had the tool you had. I don’t know where I got it, or what it could be used for. I was not to adept at first with the tool, so I tried the dental floss. I could not get it to come out. When I placed the watch upside down, I saw the a small knob at one end of the bar in a small slot in the bang. I used the tool to move the knob, and everything came off immediately. I regularly replaced my band with a dark brown style. I never threw out the previous one, so I combined the existing side with the perforations with the old one with the buckle and the two loops still decent! You really have to stare at the watch to figure out they are not a matched pair. Thanks for a very nice confidence building video to take this task on.

[@ricardoherrera8662]

Sorry for not checking all the spelling and some missing words.

[@NordicWatchChannel]

Glad to hear that it all worked out! Haha, no worries mate!

[@Virusgal5500]

1st, we have the same watch! Same model! 2nd, Omg thank u so much for teaching the second method without tools! Even with tools mine was so tight tools was useless. The rope method, the first 2 times it failed, (one time the rope broke😂) the 3rd time it works! Thank u so much!

[@Mihai_Cosmin]

Really cool tutorial. Helped me a lot at 1am while I was trying to measure the springbars of my watch. Thank you ⌚

[@Mihai_Cosmin]

Also, since I've seen you answer comments, if the lenght of my springbar is 24, can I buy a 22 strap and use the old bars? My old strap broke and I want to buy a new one. Thanks, much love ♥

[@NordicWatchChannel]

Thank you! Glad to hear that. Hmm using a 22mm strap with 24mm springbars? Sure that can be done, but you will end up with 2mm of gap between the strap edge and the inside edge of the lug🤔

[@NordicWatchChannel]

But you should measure the width of the gap between the lugs, not the springbar itself. The sizes are given according to the gap they are supposed to fit. Since they are compressed when put on the watch, a 22mm lugwidth springbar is wider than 22mm..

[@Mihai_Cosmin]

@@NordicWatchChannel Ah, I see. 😅 Measured it properly this time. Thanks a lot.

[@NordicWatchChannel]

No prob mate!👌

[@andrelousada]

Will this work with spring bars without shoulders?

If you can fit the floss between the lug and the bracelet, then probably. But K suspect it will be a tight fit with a Casio with bracelet..

What are the chances of damaging the spring bar? Asking bc the watch that I wanted to replace the strap of, one of its spring bars was kinda bent on the "springy" side. I wonder if a similar technique was done to it before haha

Urgent question: I took off the metal pin easily but now it seems too loose to fit back in. If i just slightly tug, it comes out again. What do I do?

[@NordicWatchChannel]

Hi! I’d say just place it in, and try to tug it back in place if you have anything to do that with

[@NordicWatchChannel]

You might have gotten some piece of fabric in between the metal from the dental floss maybe? I’d also try tugging and pushing it back and forth for a while to see if you can dislodge it or something.
