A different way to wear a watch strap Post by nordwulf » Sun Feb 04, am This was a question in another thread asking why I wear my leather straps with the short part with the clasp at the bottom end of the watch. Maybe this helps others who have been wearing their straps the conventional way and could be more comfortable wearing straps the 'wrong' way.
Picture that caused confusion: golfjunky wrote: I have my straps on opposite ends, is there a right or wrong? Of course it's personal choice but they are unconventional being that way round I'd say.
Having said that, the Seiko Presage deployant strap is that way too, probably part of the reason I replaced it with a CW strap with Bader. Re: A different way to wear a watch strap Post by jkbarnes » Sun Feb 04, am I've got my straps with the Bader deployment reversed like this because of my small wrists.
Haven't tried it with a buckle strap, but I'm going to!

Re: A different way to wear a watch strap Post by srs » Sun Feb 04, pm I do have the issue of the watch always twisting toward the outside of my wrist which is approx 7.
A watch turning toward the outside of my wrist is one of my biggest annoyances and will actually cause me to dislike the watch in its entirety.
Never considered the doubled over portion of the strap was the reason for it. Now I just need to get used to the tail being on the inside.

To do this, remove the spring bar from the clasp.
Use your spring bar tool the push pin end to depress the spring bar and release it from the clasp. Lay watch face down on the towel. Insert the forked end of the spring bar tool into the small gap where the spring bar is visible to catch the shoulder ridge of the spring bar. Depress the spring bar by applying pressure with the tool towards the watch band and away from the watch case.
When the spring bar is clear of the lug, that side of the band will drop down and out of the watch case. You may need to depress both sides of the spring bar at the same time to gently wiggle the band out.
Metal bands tend to fit tighter in the lugs. Slide watch around and repeat Steps to the other side of the watch band. Opening the bracelet to lay flat will make the process easier. To do this, remove the spring bar from the clasp by using your spring bar tool the push pin end , or push-pin tool, to depress the small spring bar and release it from the clasp. Slide your larger spring bars the ones meant for the band into the holes on both band ends. Push them all the way in so they are centered inside the band.
With your watch laying face down on the towel, insert one band end into a lug hole. Check to make sure that the finished side of the band is facing the same side as the watch face downward in this case. Depress the spring bar by applying pressure with the forked end of the tool towards the band and away from the watch case.
Gently press downward and move the band end around so that the spring bar slides into lug. You should feel it click into place in the lug hole. Slide watch around and repeat Steps with the other band end.
Steps 3 and 4 can be tricky and may take a few tries for a beginner. To attach the clasp back together, set your watch on its side as shown above we used a watch wood-working block.
Make sure that the fork end has purchase on the flanges of the spring bar end. Gently pry one end of the spring bar out of its lug hole and move it out from between the lugs. The strap piece will now be free from the watch case fig 9. Pull the spring bar out through the hole in the end of the strap piece fig.
Insert a spring bar into one of the replacement strap pieces. The spring bars ought to protrude equally from both sides of the strap. With the spring bar inserted into the replacement strap piece, loosely insert one protruding end of the spring bar into one of the lug holes fig. Using the spring bar tool, compress the spring bar and lower the end into the inside of the lug, aiming for the lug hole fig.
If the spring bar does not snap into the lug hole, proceed to the next step. If the spring bar does snap into the lug hole, skip the next step and go to Step 5. If the spring bar did not snap into the lug hole and did not fly off, it is pressed against the inside of the lug. Listen for a click that signals that the spring bar end has snapped into the lug hole fig.
