Changing straps...Toronto

Hi all,

I got a leather strap I'd like to put on my Rolex 16200, but I don't the tools.

I live in Markham, Ontario, (close to Toronto). Does anyone know anywhere I can go to have a professional change straps for me (the original oyster bracelet to my new leather strap)? I don't want to risk a newbie doing it and risk scratching the case.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks all!

I second Damiani. They have a full time watchmaker on staff.

Best is to order the tool for yourself and do your own strap changes. Just make sure you put some tape under the lugs to avoid scratches and you will do it like a pro.

Tape and tools. It’s super easy.

I rather scratch the case myself by attempting it, you’ll be way more pissed off when the professional watch maker or tech scratches it up. I know from experience
