Hey guys, I have a Bergeon 6767 that I used to use with my Sub and my Omegas, but for some reason, the narrow head doesn't fit the GMT2C. Anyone know what head I need to buy in order to change straps on the GMT2C? Thanks a bunch!

go to otto frei, there is a fork like attachment that you use to pull the shouldered spring bar back.

or you can use the end of a toothpick like some of our vets here

Thanks for the help guys! I may try the toothpick method while I wait for the fork to get here, haha.

Toothpicks are rather difficult to use where there are no holes on the sides though.

Don't ask me, I don't use a toothpick but I would assume that since lug holes are smaller than a toothpick anyway they use them the same way they use a springbar tool or an unfolded paper clip. In the gap inbetween the lugs and the crevasse of the end link

Have tried that.. Usually quite easy if it's a strap ('cause then the springbar can be easily moved when pressed at one end and released from just one lug) but much more difficult on a Rolex bracelet (difficult to move the springbar without pressing it at both ends at the same time).

Which reference of Bergeon 6767 do you have?

I have the 6767-F and it works with the GMT IIc: I've just removed the bracelet with it.
