cskent69 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 Ok - so yes - this is a stupid question - since no one else has asked it, it means it must be obvious. How does one change the buckle on a strap (not PAM ones - that is obvious). Do you just "force" the buckle open to get the pin out of the strap? I am a bracelet wearer - not a strap guy and I am delving into the world of straps. I just don't want to ruin one (permanently bend) one if i do not have to. I do not see another way to do this..... Thanks
gargoil Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 Its usually just a spring bar, the same as would attach the strap to the watch. Just compress it with a small screwdriver and the buckle should pop of the same way you would remove a strap/bracelet from the watch.
Pugwash Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 Ok - so yes - this is a stupid question - since no one else has asked it, it means it must be obvious. It is. If the buckle is sewn in, you have to hacksaw it out. If it's screw- or spring-fitted, you just use a screwdriver or springbar tool.
Pugwash Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 Hacksaw it is! It's not reuseable afterwards, by the way.
Everythingape Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 Too late Pugwash! I imagine him in the shed now, in tongue-out concentration, hacking away on that poor buckle..
cskent69 Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Posted June 10, 2007 No no..... Clenched teeth. Squinting eyes, with dremel and Nail cutting disk... Yeah - that ought to do it. Nice!
