VERY Important Question - Need your assistances.

Apr 02, 2020,16:36 PM
 

So I’ve been home much more than normal and have had a little to much time on my hands.


I’ve figured out that I don’t know the “proper” way to take a leather strap off - 

Is it by pushing the tip of the strap up towards the buckle like such -




Or, to pull the strap up at the buckle like this - 




Will one of you world-class horologist please help me in not looking stupid each time I remove my watch.

Thank You!

I don’t push or pull the strap. The strap recoils in deference.

I use A

The greatest damage is in the next step......

STEP 2: Releasing the pin. Try and do it by not pulling the strap tighter through the buckle and bending the strap over backwards over the buckle. I do this by squeezing the two halves of the strap towards each other (so no bending). R
