Instructions:
1.  Your finished design will depend on your watch face. The one I used had two holes, so the design is based on two strands.
2Follow pattern below for jig design & make two individual pieces with 20 gauge wire.
3.  Use small metal mandrel with Wire Worker and make a 1 ½” coil using 22 gauge wire. Cut coil into four pieces ¼” each in length.
4.  Use 2” pieces of 20 gauge wire for eye pins. Turn a loop on one side of each piece; thread a silver bead, ¼” coil, then another silver bead. Cut off excess wire, leaving approximately ½” before turning another loop.
5.   Make additional eye pins to insert through metal sliders.
6.  To assemble the watchband, alternate the silver bead/coil eye pin with the metal sliders and four loop jig design.
7.  If additional length is desired, cut excess coils down the center to make jump rings and add to the design. I added jump rings to be able to insert the clasp together.
8. Attached desired clasp to each end of the design.
