Watch repair in Birmingham — FAQ
Why should I have a professional perform a strap fitting?
Professional watchmakers use specialized tools to change straps without scratching the watch casing or damaging the spring bars. This ensures the new strap is securely attached so the watch does not fall off your wrist.
Can any watch support a different type of strap?
Most watches with standard lugs can accommodate various leather, rubber, or metal straps of the correct width. However, some watches have proprietary integrated lugs that only accept specific manufacturer straps.
How do I know what size strap my watch needs?
The strap size is determined by the width between the watch lugs, usually measured in millimeters. A professional can precisely measure this distance to ensure a perfect fit.
Is it safe to change a watch strap at home?
While possible, changing a strap at home without proper tools often results in scratched lugs or bent spring bars. Professional watch repair workshops have the correct equipment to do this safely and quickly.
