I will recommend buying a tiny screw driver (for spectacles) from pasar malam and change yourself. Much cheaper.

I don't trust watch shops. Once I sent my watch to a watch-shop to change battery. The shop owner broke the glass of my watch. He told me to leave my watch with him as he will replace a new cover. Guess what ? He replaced it with a cheap plastic cover that is 3 mm thicker than the original. The watch doesn't look the same anymore.

Yes metal strip must use a special watch nail to knock out the pin .

Not branded. A retro Solvil de Titus 天长地久 leather strap watch. But I like it very much.

Those tiny screw drivers that sold in a box type or better still those plastic cover. Can find in any hardware shop or pasar malam or morning market stalls. Use the smallest flat screwdriver.



Not difficult. Did it before.

Good eyesight to see is important.

Use cloth to protect your watch surface.

One of you don't know how to change watch strap; another don't know how to change battery. Twits. You deserve all the good things that happen thereof.
