Hi, 

I have guess watch I'd love to start using again, the strap has had water damage and disintegrated it. 

I'm not sure how to find the right size or how to change it, I'll attach some pictures if you could offer advice.

First of all remove the strap by retracting the small spring bars, they can be either double sprung or single check the ends, Then measure the distance between the case lugs  18mm,,,,20mm then select the type of strap required. Cousins uk do a good selection.  Whether you can pick up a like for like is doubtful but you may be able to get a close match.

Sorry to hear about your Guess watch strap, but I'm glad you're eager to give it a new lease on life.

It can be a bit tricky to find the right size and replace it, but don't worry, we're here to help!

First things first, those pictures you mentioned would be super helpful for us to give you more specific advice. That way, we can take a closer look and suggest the best course of action. And if you're considering alternatives, have you ever thought about trying NATO straps? They can be a stylish and durable option for watch strap replacements, plus they're relatively easy to install.

    • Hello, looking forward to participating on the forum here! I will mostly be listening and asking questions since I am an amateur hobbyist. I have most of the beginner hand tools and a Timegrapher. The extent of my tinkering consists of a successful Seiko 7S26 to NH36 movement swap inside an all original 1997 SKX007, along with a bunch of battery changes for friends and family. I have yet to tackle full disassembly and cleaning. Right now, I don't really have the budget or time to invest in a cleaning setup (even manual cleaning), but hopefully soon! I joined because I recently purchased a mechanical Timex Camper from 1994, and my searches for information regarding servicing and swapping out these Timex mechanical movements consistently led me to Watch Repair Talk. There is also a wealth of knowledge here about dial design, another area of interest for me. My other hobbies includes leather working (mostly small pieces, shoes eventually), crochet, sewing (would love to make clothing), design (especially type design), home espresso, cocktails, and tennis. I want to buy a film camera, but I don't need yet another expensive hobby involving last-century technology. Yes, I have ADHD.
