Question for the Watch Strap Specialists in here. How do you do that little oblong hole for the quick release Spring Bars? Do you have a tiny oblong Punch?

Seems a punch would be much easier but with my limited tools I would punch round holes at each end and then connect them with two straight cuts.  Scalpel or X-acto Knife for the straight work.

I have one of these. Super easy to use and perfect results everytime. I'm in the UK so the link is to the UK site where i got them but you'll be able to get them in Switzerland i'm sure. You can get really expensive swiss made ones but they seem over-priced. You could also use a small oblong punch and slide a cocktail stick in where the spring bar will go to punch against.
