We all know that the hand watch strap is an essential component of the hand watch, and also determines the comfort and convenience of wearing. So what can we do if the hand watch strap is too long and loose when worn on the wrist? Today, we will discuss some methods for shortening hand watch straps, hoping to provide some help.
First, you need a hand watch disassembly tool and a small hammer. Then unscrew the handle of the disassembly tool until the top pin retreats to the edge.
Next, put the hand watch to be adjusted into the groove of the disassembly tool and align the top pin with the connecting pin of the hand watch strap.
Slowly turn the handle of the disassembly tool, and the top pin will push forward until the connecting pin of the hand watch strap is pushed out.
Remove the corresponding hand watch link according to the thickness of the wrist, then install the top pin back in the opposite direction of the arrow, and gently tap with a small hammer until the top pin is completely pushed into the hole of the hand watch strap link.
It is worth noting that before dismantling the hand watch strap, make sure that the strap is not connected by screws but by pins. In addition, the connecting pins of the steel hand watch strap have two ends, one is flat, and the other is relatively round or flat.
Furthermore, the top pin must be inserted from the flat end, because the other end is not removable and forcing it out will damage it. Also, you can judge which end to insert based on the size of the pinhole. Generally, you can insert it from the small end to the large end.
When dismantling a metal hand watch strap, it is best to remove them in pairs, and both sides of the hand watch buckle must be removed evenly. This ensures that the hand watch buckle is centered and comfortable to wear, especially for women with smaller wrists who need to pay attention to this issue.
When opening the hand watch, make sure that the letters or symbols on the strap buckle are consistent with the dial. If they are reversed, the strap is installed incorrectly. You can use your thumb to open the hand watch buckle, and you can only check whether the symbols are in the correct order for butterfly buckles. If the hand watch strap is installed incorrectly, opening and closing it will be inconvenient.
Adjust to the appropriate length according to the size of the wrist, and then install the hand watch needle back in the opposite direction of the arrow. However, make sure that the hand watch strap grain is inserted by pins or hairpins and not by screws.
Since the size of a leather hand watch strap is fixed when it is made, it cannot be shortened by removing a link like a steel strap. The only solution is to add an extra hole to the long strap.
