OT Watch Experts - Recommended Tools For Changing Band?

Just ordered this Sinn and I like some of the different straps I have seen out there. Never changed out a strap or band before. What are the recommended tools I will need?

I use a small flat head screw driver that I believe is supposed to be used for eye glasses, but there is a specific tool that you can buy. I'll get one eventually, but for now my little screw driver works.

That tool is all you need. Super easy. Well......depends on the band. Some bands don't give you a lot of room and make it difficult to not scratch the lugs, but overall, the process is easy.

That's what I have.
To the OP, be careful...
Going from NATO to NATO is easy though once you have the bare spring bars installed.
OP, lug width 20mm?

I bought like 5-6 for $1 each from China if you can wait a month for them to get here.

Use the fat end of the tool, the small end is for spring bats in bracelets.

Cool. Thanks.

If that's the watch you bought I would also get a 20mm polished deployant clasp with the Sinn logo on it. I keep one on my nicest leather strap and it's awesome. Well worth the money to save your strap and it adds a level of quality to the setup.
They may make others, just an example...

I like that. Yeah may have to pick one up.

Love it on my Stowa. See how it keeps the band from having to be bent back on itself to be latched? It's great if you end up moving which hole you're in on your band because there's no wear at all.
