Updates

"The attachment of the beaded strap to the watch is a bit tricky. Nylon beading thread is used in this case. This is the same thread used for loom beading which is how the watch strap is created. The type of nylon thread used in this case is thin enough to go through a seed bead a few rounds and yet strong enough to withstand breakage.

Used beading needle to go through the first bead on the strap with the nylon thread and then make a turn through the strap bar of the watch. Repeat this about 5 times until the bead on the other end is reached. You will have to secure the thread first before you start and after when it is done to hide the ends. The tricky part is that the needle may not be able to go through the hole between the strap bar and the watch face, so you may have to remove the needle and just use the thread to do this and re-thread the needle for the bead each time. I know this sound tedious. In this project I use a normal watch but there are watches sold by craft stores that are designed for beading projects which would not come under this category."
