WATCH POP

Is there a tool available to change the bracelet on my SMP that doesn't cost $120!?!?!

I probably shouldn't be terribly shocked, but for some reaon I am. I am getting into the strap frenzy, but it will be greatly tempered by having to buy a tool that expensive.

I tried to do it myself with a standard spring bar tool and almost seriously damaged the bracelete. Here's a link to an inexpensive tool that I have used and it works great, just take your time and remember to put the pins back in the same way the came out. Out in the direction of the arrows, back in opposite to direction of arrows. Hope this helps,

http://www.tztoolshop.com/FB_Catalog_Link_Pin_Removers.html JimC I am actually trying to do the spring-bars....any thoughts? First Quality Spring bar tool which I use to remove the bracelet from my Seamaster and have no problems using it. It does take a bit of practice at first but once you get it, it should be pretty simple onwards. of a more appropriate tool to install my stainless bracelet on my speedypro. I think a bilateral compression tool makes sense. Someone, anyone out there please, please design this and make it cost as little as $20 and have the quality of a Bergeon tool. I will be your first client. I can't get my Burgeon to work, either. I get one side of the SB out and when I go to the other, it pops back in. I tried putting a wood toothpick in there to wedge it off the head, but I still didn't get it. The bracelet, despite showing marks so easily, is awesome, but I would love to be able to change it out easily.
