INSTRUCTIONS FOR OBTAINING YOUR WATCH'S LUG WIDTH

A lug is defined as: the extensions on the top and bottom of a watch where the bracelet or strap is attached (see illustration on right).

The lug width is the interior distance in millimeters between one partner lug and the other.

STEP 1

We recommend that you take your watch to a qualified watch professional to remove your strap.

NOTICE: Unqualified individuals may damage your watch or strap if not properly trained. Wenger is not responsible for damage to one's watch or strap during strap removal or installation. See your watch manual for warranty conditions.

Remove your strap or bracelet from your watch. You can remove the strap or bracelet from both sides or just one. (See illustration at right.)

STEP 2

Using a ruler with millimeters or the Lug Width Measuring Tool at the right, lay your watch down (see far right illustration) with the inside of the left lug at zero. Read the distance to the inside of the right lug. If the distance reads with a partial millimeter, then round down to the next number. (Example: if the distance reads 20 ½ millimeters, your lug width is 20 millimeters.)
