How to Remove a Fossil Watch From a Leather Band

You need to disengage the spring bar from the watch casing in order to remove a leather strap from a Fossil watch for replacement or repair. You can perform this procedure with a single tool. You should carry out the operation in a dry, well-lit area. Does this Spark an idea?
