Changing your strap is a great way to change the look of the watch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step 1: Tools Needed to Change Straps and Bracelets on a Rolex<\/b><\/h2>\n

To change the straps and bracelets on a Rolex<\/a>, you\u2019ll need a couple of tools. <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A spring bar tool. Alternatively, if you don\u2019t have a spring bar tool, you can use a pushpin, a paperclip or even a few sturdy wooden toothpicks. Any of these will work.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. A soft cloth to lay your Rolex on while you\u2019re working on it.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. A small dish or tray to hold small pieces.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \"Crown
    The first step would be to see if you have lug holes or not.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Step 2: Does Your Rolex have lug holes or not? <\/b><\/h2>\n

    If you take a look at the lugs on your Rolex watch\u2014the metal protrusions that extend out from the case where the bracelet is attached\u2014take note if there are any holes on the sides or not. Older Rolex models have holes on the lugs while newer models typically don\u2019t. <\/span><\/p>\n

    As you can imagine, changing straps and bracelets on a Rolex<\/a> with holes in the lugs is easier than if there aren\u2019t any. But either way, it can be done; it\u2019s just a slightly different approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"rolex
    In that case where your watch has lug holes, you’ll need to follow this step. If not, you can ignore this step.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Step 3A: Removing the Bracelet on a Rolex with Lug Holes<\/b><\/h2>\n

    On a Rolex watch, the bracelet is secured to the case via spring bars. Therefore, to remove the bracelet, you have to dislodge the spring bars that are fitted into the lug holes. So if your Rolex has lug holes, you simply have to insert your spring bar tool into one hole to retract one end of the spring bar, which\u2014with a bit of nudging around\u2014will eventually free your bracelet from the case. If you do not have a Rolex spring bar tool you can alternatively use a pushpin, paperclip or toothpick, but we recommend using the Rolex spring bar tool.<\/span><\/p>\n

    When one end of the bracelet has been removed from one end of the case, pull the spring bar out from the bracelet end link and set it aside in your tray. Repeat the same step on the other side of the case to remove the other end of the bracelet from the case. Again, pull the spring bar out from that end link and place it in the tray. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Changing
    Without holes you need to approach the lugs from the back.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Step 3B: Removing the Bracelet on a Rolex without Lug Holes<\/b><\/h2>\n

    If you\u2019re dealing with a Rolex watch without lug holes, hold your Rolex with the caseback facing towards you and you will see four small spaces where the bracelet spring bars are attached to the lugs. Using your tool, push the one side of the spring bar away from the lug through the small space until it dislodges from the lug. Repeat on the other side of the same spring bar until the bracelet is completely removed. Pull the spring bar out from the bracelet end link and set it aside in your tray. Repeat the same process on the other side of the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Changing
    Enjoy the final product with a leather strap.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Step 4: Attaching another Band to your Rolex<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Take the other band, let\u2019s say a leather strap, that you want to attach to your Rolex. Thread one spring bar from your tray into the leather loop side that will attach to the case side. Hold your Rolex with the caseback facing towards you. Align the leather strap with the spring bar on top of lugs, and using your tool, press one end of the spring bar back, push the bracelet down slightly so that the spring bar releases back into the hole for a secure fit. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Repeat this step on the other side of the same strap piece. Wiggle the strap a bit to ensure that both ends of the spring bar are perfectly fitted into the holes. Repeat the same steps with the other leather piece and spring bar to attach it to the other side of the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

    A new strap on your Rolex can completely change up the look of your watch. Whether you like leather, NATO straps or the original bracelet it comes with, knowing how to change the strap<\/a>\/bracelet is important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
