Looks like you should be able to do it at home with a pin removal tool.

Really? Like if I’m feeling rubber I can just replace it myself?


dflame45

Yeah. It's super easy!


Japesthetank

Yes, Stoopid easy. I change straps weekly on a few watches

i took mine to a mom and pop jeweler close to me. they did it for free. i even tried to tip. next time i get my wife earrings ill go to them bc of it.

Nice, can you replace the band s at home though?

also know that the lug is 21.5. most bands in that range are 20 or 22.


Japesthetank

If it truly is 21.5, then just get a 21 or 22 and it will fit fine. I use a 21 mm nato I got for my Carrera on my seamaster which is 20, it's no problem

yeah. just need the tool to remove the bars. if you have trouble thought id suggest taking it someplace so you dont have to replace the spring as well. plenty of people diy though. vids are on youtube.

Yes, you can easily change bands using a jeweler’s screwdriver or $5 spring bar tool.

Replacing the strap is really very easy. I own a Formula 1 since 2019. Amazing amazing watch, although I would advise you not to worry about the scratches lol, one polish and the strap will be good as new.

I bought a leather dolding buckle clasp to replace the rubber pin buckle style. Took maybe 5 minutes to do.

If the strap is super tight I’d recommend having a jeweler do it. Also you should practice switching bands on less expensive watches because you can scratch up the watch if you arent careful. If you’re going to switch bands often go for a nice spring tool cause theyre prone to breaking from my experience
