fcaap_dan Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Can anyone recommend just the basics I should get for at-home watch sizing and strap changes. Hopefully things that birdman carries, but I won't be upset if I have to drive to Home Depot or Lowe's to get them. I don't need anything fancy like pneumatic presses. The jeweler here in town, while he does have good service, is terribly slow. Last time I replaced a band it took almost 2 days (he's the only one that does it, the two women that work there can't even replace a watch battery) and when I had my watch sized it took an hour.

I bought a watch strap and case opening kit from ebay from a HK supplier for $10 including shipping included 2 weeks delivery via mail, has all you need, not high quality, but works for me. Just search ebay watch area watch tools and it should come up. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcaap_dan Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 shipping included 2 weeks delivery via mail, That's fine, that's about how long it takes to get a band changed around here. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
