How to put on a strap with a Metro card (dedicated to 77T)>>>>

Just some old pics I've made of how to put on a strap.

This is the tool I will use.



And a springbar tool from a Sea Dweller tool set.



So I press out the springbars.



Then I put some tape at the backside of the lugs, the former owner didn't do that.



Then I put the Metrocard between the springbar and the case.





When it looks okey, just pull out the card.



Then check careful and make sure the springbar is in place.

What is best a custom Rolex or a Rolex that is stuck in custom?

Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional

Ah...I am humbly speechless - MacGuyver-like ingenuity.

I had been using paper clips and fingernails before buying the Tool. Ran out of unbroken fingernails so now I can start again with expired credit cards.

Ha ha! You even had the "insert this way / this side facing you" side facing you!

Of course I guess it wouldn't work if inserted the other way.

That's brilliantly resourceful Jocke!
