You can use the old spring bars. Just make sure that they are not worn or broken.

My watch says 19mm, what size band should I use? Everywhere I look the closest is either 18mm or 20mm.

@UFC813CHRIS @UFC813CHRIS I may be proficient on how to hold watches on a wrist, but I am not a watch expert. You may want to visit some watch forums, beginning with Poor Mans Watch Forum. Some folks there may be able to help you out or at least point you in the right direction.

There are a few 19mm bands. We offer some on our website.
If you go to 18mm, there will be a small gap between band and case lugs. Some don't mind, others do. If you are wanting a leather band, it is sometimes possible to "squeeze" a 20mm into 19mm lugs. It depends on whether the leather is soft or rigid.

@silkybill You're welcome.

Generally speaking, it is not a problem to replace a metal band with a leather strap or vice versa. The exception might be if your metal bracelet has a non-standard, integrated fit with watch case. Then, it might be difficult to find a leather band to replace it.

Yes, you can change a watch band with any strong, thin device that allows you to get between the band and the watch lug. It might be a very small screwdriver, knife, file, etc.
