The recent collaboration between Swatch and Blancpain has given birth to a remarkable crossover watch—the Blancpain X Swatch. This stylish timepiece has quickly gained popularity among watch enthusiasts. One of its standout features is its compatibility with various strap types, including nylon, rubber, and leather. However, removing the original spring bars can be a bit tricky. Fear not! In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of removing those stubborn spring bars.
Removing the Original Spring Bars
Difficulty in Removing Original Springbars
Despite its popularity, some users have encountered a common issue: the difficulty in removing the original springbars. These springbars, essential for attaching straps, require a specific tool—an allen key—to detach. This can be frustrating for individuals seeking to personalize their timepiece with alternative straps.
What You’ll Need
Before we dive into the removal process, gather the following tools:
A pair of 0.9mm Allen Key: You can easily find this at most hardware stores.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Locate the Spring Bars: The spring bars are the small metal pins that secure the watch strap to the lugs. They sit between the lugs and the strap.
- Insert the Allen Key: Carefully insert a pair of the 0.9mm Allen key into the small hole on both sides of the lug. This hole corresponds to the spring bar.
- Apply Gentle Pressure: While holding the Allen key in place, apply gentle pressure to compress the spring bar. This action will release it from the lug.
- Slide Out the Spring Bar: Once the spring bar is compressed, slide it out from between the lugs. Be patient and take your time.
- Repeat for the Other Side: Follow the same steps for the other lug.
- Replace with Your Desired Strap: Now that the spring bars are removed, you can easily switch to your preferred strap—whether it’s nylon, rubber, or leather.
