Unable to reattach watch strap

[maxm2025]

Good Morning all, 

I detached the strap of this watch, but can't figure out how to reattach it, could anyone give me some guidance please?

Kind regards, 

Max

Welcome to the forum.

Have you still got the spring bar that came out when you removed it?

It should look like the bottom one of these.

I don't recall anything coming out when I detached it, I just put a SIM card poker into one of the holes and it came apart

It does stay together with the SIM card poker stuck in the hole as pictured, but that isn't a long term solution obviously

The spring bars can launch without you even noticing

Fit a new  bracelet pin bar. Measure and purchase.

That or the sprung pin can stick inside the sleeve of the bar. Is there a pin sticking out the opposite side of the end link?

Very cheap and easy to replace.

Ah, this could be the case then. My room is a tip so it's going to be very difficult to find, I'm guessing they're pretty tiny

Thanks, I've been searching for these on Amazon but didn't know the correct term, this should make things easier

Nah, nothing poking out the other end as far as I can tell

Thanks for the responses all

You need to make sure you get what's called the Short Bead type and
also the correct diameter (1.3mm / 1.5mm / 1.8mm) to suit the strap.
