FAQ
How to measure the lug width of my watch
Measure the inside spacing between the horns with a caliper in millimeters. This measurement corresponds to the width of the watch strap to choose.
What tool do I need to remove links?
Use a pin punch if the links are held by pins, or watchmaker's screwdrivers if the links are screwed in. Check the direction of extraction indicated by an arrow.
Will changing a watch strap damage my case?
With a spring bar chaser , a case holder and a mat, the risk of scratching is limited. Work slowly, protect sensitive areas and check for fit before wearing.
