Step 5Straps
It's small, it tells the time: let's put watch straps on it.
Cheap watches, like the one gutted for parts here, have these tiny sprung bars that go in the straps and lock into tiny pockets in the watch body. They compress along their length (about four moving parts in each bar) to go in and out of the pockets in the watch body. The ends of the rods have a little flange that you can press a needle against to compress it.
Find a thick pin.
The watch straps should slide sideways a tiny bit exposing the end of the rod, mine even had notch cut into the strap exposing the flange. push the end of the rod into the rod's body, and the strap should come off.
This mounting takes the watch straps, sits against your wrist and is glued or screwed to the underside of the base plate. The next few steps cover it's construction.
