To Change Your Strap:
To change your watch strap use a pin or paperclip to gently push the solid pins through
the case pin holes.
At the same time, carefully pull on the strap until the bar releases. When fitting your new
strap ensure the bars are seated well by tugging on both ends before you wear your watch.
Note: Rip Curl leather straps are made of the finest oiled leather for long life. But
despite other's claims, real leather cannot be made 100% water resistant. Don't wear
leather in any water.
For water use, replace your leather strap with a suitable water resistant rubber or velcro
strap, Stainless Steel Straps are water resistant.
BAND LENGTH ADJUSTMENT:
Major Adjustments to the length of your strap must be made by removing the correct amount of metal links to
fit your wrist. Links should be taken out as evenly as possible from both sides.
1. Note the direction of the small engraved arrows on the back of strap links.
2. Use a thumb tack firmly push out the first split-pin in the direction of the arrow. (Fig.1)
3. Pull out the split pin fully. The strap now comes apart. Repeat this step for each link to be removed. (Fig.2)
4. Now align the two ends of the strap and replace the pin in the opposite direction of the arrow. Be sure to
note the correct end of the split pin to insert. (Fig.3)
5. Firmly press the pin back into place using a hard object. Next lightly tap the pin fully into place. (Fig.4)
Repeat steps 2 to 5 on other side of band
Minor adjustments:
After the correct fit has been achieved final adjustments or changes can be made as follows:
1. Use a thumb tack slowly insert into the spring bar hole at the clasp. (fig. 5) Join will release.
2. Move the spring bar to the desired hole for the perfect fit. (fig. 6). Be sure to align both ends of the spring
bar in the same set of holes.
