APROO Strap change help

[RRM1020]

Hello all,
I need some help.
I have an APROO Grey Themes Titanium on a bracelet. Just love it.

While at the boutique I picked up a rubber and a grey horn back straps for it.
I am afraid of changing straps bc my tools won't budge the screws and I don't want to strip them.
I even tried putting heat w hairdryer I loosen lock tight. But nothing.

What tools and method do I need bc I want to change the look.

Thanks,
Roger

Bring it back to the Boutique and have them do it. But 2, 1.4mm screwdrivers is all you need.

With the correct screwdrivers you will not strip the screws...the screws not "budging" is most likely loc-tite used to help keep the screws in place.

Using the correct screwdrivers will help minimize you "slipping" off the screw and scratching something you don't want scratched.

You can also use scotch tape to help protect while strap changing.

You can also bring back to boutique or an AD to have it changed too if your not comfortable!

Problem is I live 3 hours from closest boutique.

What size screwdriver do I need?
Or where can I get that tool that holds the case in place to be able to drive screw off?

Thx guys.

Ummmmm, is this a joke?

1.6mm screw drivers work best... 1.4 does not fit the entire length of the screw which causes the screw driver to slip.

Btw even at the boutique they will scratch your screws / watch since the locktite is probably a bit old and has become hardened.
