The strap is attached by means of a friction pin.

I changed out the strap on my Seventies Chronograph a few years back, so that I could replace it with the bracelet. 


For the life of me, I am unable to successfully insert a YouTube link here that demonstrates the process.  But -- Google "friction pin removal watch band" and you'll land on a page that includes a video that will help you to understand how to remove a friction pin.

In short, the process involves inserting a tool at one end of the pin that attaches the strap to the case, and tapping gently with a jeweler's hammer until the pin comes out the other side.  The tools look something like this (although the plastic tray won't be part of the process for your GO):

Hopefully, this will be of some help in giving you an idea of what is involved.

Cheers,
Jim

That’s a hell of a process for a strap change right
