1. Install the spring bars into each end of the strap. Be sure to push them all the way in so they are centered inside the strap.

2. Install the short end of the strap (the end with the buckle). It goes on the top of the watch (the 12 o’clock end). From the back side of your watch, insert one end of the spring bar into the hole on the watch lug.

3. Use your changing tool to compress the other end of the spring bar, so it slides inside the watch lug. Make sure both ends of the spring bar securely snap into their holes, or the strap will fall off the watch.

4. Repeat the process on the other side of the watch. Remember, the long end of the strap goes on the bottom of the watch (the 6 o’clock end).
