Tool used to remove bracelet?

Man these no hole cases make the bands a pain to remove... what are you all using to safely and carefully remove your bands? Something from Bergeon? Exact part #'s would be much appreciated!!!

I usually use the small screwdiver that is attached to the corkscrew on my Swiss Army Knife (Champion Model). Then after one side is puched in, I insert a toothpick to keep it puched in, and then pop off the other side - which then the whole bracelet comes off.

Should get a Proper Tool to do. Would be much faster. I do know that for Rolex you need to get a tool with small end fork, as many of the tools have larger size forks made for other watch brands that have larger pin openings.

She looks like she lost her legs below the knees in the 'open' shot.

Sir Paul McCartney used that technique a couple of years ago and got a bit of a shock.

A VERY bad investment also.
