I heard Prince Albert cursing and swearing mightily in the other room.  He was trying to re-attach a watch band.  After hearing several minutes of this I took over and for the first time in my life I replaced a watch band.  I used a letter opener type staple remover to squeeze the spring bar and while it took a few tries I managed to do it in less than 5 minutes, including a learning curve.

 :cheer:

Good job figuring it out so quickly.  I used to work in a jewelry store, so I have replaced lots of watch bands. 

Was it difficult to learn or merely tedious until you learned it?  Is there a special tool that's used to depress the spring bar or can something like tweezers be used?

I always thought it was some esoteric skill that only some people were allowed to learn.  I will admit that I lost one of the spring bars when it flew somewhere in the room.  We had another watch band for a different colored watch, so I scrounged from it.  I will try to buy a watch from Goodwill with the right width band the next time since that might be cheaper in the long run.

No, it was pretty easy for me to figure out.  For a watch like your husband's, there's a tool that looks like a thin bladed but broad rounded knife that you use to depress the spring bar.  You can also use it to pry off the back of the watch to change the batteries, unless the back screws on.

I'll keep an eye out for one of those.  I guess a jeweler-type screwdriver would also work.

I guess I'll have to schedule a Royal Tour of Italy and send you out to make all the arrangements.  Will that do?

My parents had to leave the house early today, so I didn't have to put up with my father's bullshit of talking "to himself" in the early hours of the morning.  :2thumbsup:

The big riding lawn mower I found last year started when I tried it so did a small horizontal shaft engine I had found  when I was checking to see what I am bringing to the scrap yard
