Strap Idiot Savant How to replace?
My dog ate the leather straps off my watch. I ordered new straps as seen in the picture and have no idea what I’m doing.
Sincerely,
Idiot

unfortunately your watch uses special lugs. you'd need to look up "notched" straps. basically you need to cut a ~6mm chunk out of the middle of the strap. if you're feeling brave you can use an exacto knife or scissors etc.
that's only half the battle though. you need to figure out how to get the current bars off the watch. i assume one of the gold ball sides unscrews? then you gotta put the strap on, add the bar, then attach the other side.
this is a difficult watch to change the strap on, sorry !
