Ok, so after seeing some pics a few days ago of the BLNR on the rubber b strap with the blue line, decided I NEED one.
Been wearing my Tudor Pelagos on rubber lately and feels good to me, so placed an order for the rubber b.
Rubber B is now here.

What do you guys use to change the braclets/straps? Was thinking of getting the bergeon tool, but want to make sure I get the right model.
In the mean time do you think the AD would change it for me??

Thanks in advance for any input..

I didn’t use the Bergeon tweezers. I used their spring bar tool but I made sure I taped the lugs with electric black tape to avoid scratches and carefully removed the bracelet. Didn’t take more than 10/15 mins and there were no lug scratches.

That’s what I use. At first I taped lugs but now I don’t and if I get an occasional scratch on the lug so be it. You are never seeing those ones haha

Indeed! But I also feel if you’re going to remove and add the bracelet frequently then the tweezers are really good. However for me only once or twice a year I’ll be changing it so no need for them. Lol

The black or blue leather or rubber straps from Everest on the BLNR really give the watch a unique look.

Taping the lugs will help out a lot. It's takes some practice, but this tool is great.

Am I right in thinking my sub Lvc bracelet will fit the blnr as well?

I didn't get accustomed to the original bracelet.
First I tried a Rubber B model, a complete waste of money. After just a couple of months both! loops fell apart. Without them the tang buckle was unusable. So I wrote to Rubber B and nicely asked them to get me replacements.
Their answer was: "20 USD + 30 USD to send to Norway". After that their product ended up in the garbage. Looked quite worn too.
For a while I have tried a Hirsch Ayrton in blue now. I combined it with custom band strap end links and voila...
So far I am very pleased with the comfort, fit, haptics and the look.
