How to Protect the watch lugs when removing or fixing the bracelets-easy.

[Ian Limm]

I have been seeing so many watch lugs with deep cuts and scratches caused by the spring bars when the owner is either removing or trying to fix the bracelet onto the case.

just want to share 1 easy step to prevent this, use tap to cover the lugs before you practice fixing the bracelets, no more scratches no matter how many times you try!

dont use those tape that is slightly thicker. thin tape will get cut easily by the edge of the springbar

haha nothing profound here bro, like i said on my header, it is an easy thing to do but not followed by many.

bro triton is correct, better to use thicker tapeid you have cos the spring bar sometimes cuts thru the thinner tapes.

a lot of nice unpolished watches I see end up with deep cuts on the lugs,its worse for the 18K models because gold is softer than steel.

Thanks for the tips.

Yes especially important for the goldies.

For steel the most is superficial lines. Still feel thought .

Does this apply to bracelets with end links as well?

Cools bro throttle!

Fitting the end links i find sometimes be a very 'tight' fit......

Any special method?
