On the OM4Ti, the little round leather on the timer knob is to be peeled
off, revealing a screw underneath..... Unscrew it and the knob comes off
with a spring (careful here)......

Mine U see is exactly that.... its cow leather, very thick before it was
skived down to size..... the lizard motif, well, they stamp that pattern on
