Band shortening instruction for metal straps
Your wristwatch strap may be shortened in two ways.
1. At the buckle (see fig. 1.)
Unlock the safety cover (if applicable) and open the buckle. The strap is held in
position by a spring bar. The spring bar can be compressed with a pointed tool to
enable shortening of the strap. Move the strap to the desired position and allow
the spring bar to lock into place.
2. At the strap (see fig. 2)
Shortening of the strap can also be achieved by removing segments. Open the
buckle and remove the spring bar as described in part Fig. 1.
Place the wristwatch on a soft surface with the dial facing downward. Fig. 2: The
segments that can be removed are marked with an arrow. Fig. 3: Place the band
in the band changing tool in such a way that the pointed end of the tool points
directly at the metal rod. Turn the screw in the direction of the arrow until the metal
rod is pushed out a small distance. The rod can now be pulled out (use tweezers if
necessary).
The strap can now be disassembled.
Remove as many segments as necessary in the described fashion and reassemble
the strap by pushing the bolt inwards in the opposite direction of the arrow.
Reassemble the buckle with the spring bar.
