• Make sure that the number of threads to remove on each side of the fastener is equal.
• This is to ensure that the watch face remains in the center of the strap.
• Write down the number of threads to remove on each side of the fastener.

Lay the watch on its side on the work surface. Keep the bottom of each wire to be removed at a distance of 0.5 cm from the plane.

• Count the number of wires to remove, calculate the entanglement keyword.
• Find the position of the last wire fixing pin.
• This is where the eye removal should be done.

Use a latch release tool. Use a latch push to release the latch that secures the latch.

• Press the tip of the latch release tool against the tip of the pin.
• If there is not enough force, you can use a hammer to close the latch release tool into the hole to push the latch lever out of the hole.
• A pin will pop out from the other side of the wire.
• Continue, use a hammer to nail the pin to further enlarge.

Use pliers to pull the pin.

• After the pin has come out of the hole long enough for the nose to grip, you can use the pliers to remove it.
• Use small nose pliers to grip the pin tip.
• Pull out the latch.
• At this time, the eyes you need to remove on one side of the fastener will come off.
• Repeat with the other side of the string.

Remove the fastener from the wire segment to be removed. You will need to get the clasp to re-attach it to the strap.

• Use the same method as when you removed the eyelet.
• Fasteners are also connected to the laces by latches. You just need to use the hammer, push pin and pliers to remove the pin.
• Then, reattach the buckle to the strap.

Fix the fastener. Connect the eye of the fastener to the outer eyelet on one side of the strap.

• You will see the hole to attach the latch fixing the hook.
• Take one of the pins that you removed and insert in this hole.
• The pin will easily penetrate the hole, just pausing slightly near the end.
• Use the hammer to gently close the latch into the hole.
• Repeat the process on the other side of the hook.
• Your watch strap is then properly aligned.

Try on the watch. Now the loop fits, not too big or too small.

• If you miss more than the required number of eyes, try to reattach each eye on each side of the wire.
• If you have not removed enough eyes, re-measure to see how many links you need to remove to make the watch tighter but still comfortable.
• Wear the watch for a few days to make sure it's comfortable.
