Let's get into it.
The first type of watch we're gonna have a closer look at
are watches that have drilled lug holes as you can see these are pretty easy to
remove a strap because all you need is an object with a sharp pointy end what
we use is a Bergeon 6767 spring bar tool this is one of the the
trusty tools that everybody in the industry uses and it has a fork to
remove the spring bars and on the other hand it has a pusher like a pin
pin pusher this is what we're gonna use so all you need to do is just push it
through the hole and the strap comes off and then you push it through the hole
again and the strap comes off again when you would like to attach a strap to any
watch with or without drilled lug holes using the Bergeon 6767 you have two
options it comes with a three millimeter or a one millimeter fork head for
leather straps where you have enough space I would use a three millimeter one
because it's much more convenient and comfortable and all you need to do is
just put one end of the spring bar into the hole of the case or the lugs and then
just use this to push it under and then it's fixed sometimes you can buy straps
Sometimes you can buy straps with spring bars that are already attached and they're quick-release bars
which means there's a little thingy here a little switch which you can hold and
push down to remove the spring bar so you don't need a spring bar tool and
that's pretty easy to attach to the watch and pretty easy to remove you have
to again put one end on the spring bar into the hole and then with your nail
you just push this back. Oh it's already attached.
So if we have a watch which already has a strap and we
would like to add a NATO strap to the watch then we have to remove the strap
that is already on the timepiece for this we use obviously a 6767 Bergeon so
we remove the strap take out the spring bars
then we put the spring bars back on to the watch like so one side
and on the other side and basically we're done all we need to do now is to
take a NATO strap or a ZULU strap basically a one-piece nylon strap or a one
piece leather strap and we just lace the strap under then lace it out on the
other side
and we are good to go
we can use the Bergeon 6767
to remove bracelets from watches however usually the space between the endlings
and the watch is pretty small so we cannot use the 3 millimeter fork head
Bergeon also comes with a one millimeter forehead which is what you see right
here and that's big enough or small enough to fit into the space here so we
can remove the bracelet from the watch using this Bergeon basically what you need
to do is push the spring bar back and at the same time move the endling up with
your left index finger and then once this is unhooked then you can push the
other back and remove it if you would like to use another tool we have another
Bergeon spring bar remover tool this is the 6825 the difference between the
6767 and the 6825 is well amongst many things the price this one you are
looking around 15 20 25 euros whereas the 6825 is a couple of hundred euros
however this is the best solution you can have when it comes to removing the
bracelets basically what the 68 25 does is that it pushes both ends of the
spring bar in simultaneously when you push it together and once both
ends of the spring bar are pushed in you can remove the endling and the spring
bar much easier you can set this wider depending on the width of the lugs
in this case we have to set it much wider you put in one end you put in the
other end and you push it together and then remove it so if you liked this
