Hi Fellow Rolex Owners or watch enthusiast.
I have a Rolex Submariner 116613LB the smurf one and I want to change the bracelet to a nato or leather strap etc. What tools can I buy to change the bracelet to nato?.

Is there any cheap tools other than the brand Bergeon?. If not which Bergeon tool do I buy as there is alot of models.

Any suggestions which Bergeon tools or other branded tools?

Thanks so much.

Howe.

Not sure which size you'll need, but I would suggest buying the best you can afford!

You own a £20,000 watch and you want to buy a cheap piece of mental to start poking around the lugs?

I'm no expert but I've used a 6767-F for spring bars.

Edit: I bought the Horotec. The forks needed to be ground down slightly, but it took minimal effort with some Emory cloth. It works like a charm.

There are a lot of good tools out there including Horotec and Bergeon. Bergeon makes several different kinds and models (and has Rolex ownership) in a number or price ranges.

The key is to get a tool with the fine fork ends. The standard wider ends will not fit and must be ground thinner.

Bergeon 7825 best by far

Many people actually just recommend using wood so as not to scratch the gold

Bergeon 6825 pliers works quite well and is nice and precise. Also get the 6767 for removal from leather straps as to not break the tips on the plier.

There is only one Smurf and that is the White Gold 116619LB. I think what you mean is that you have the 116613LB TT Sub with flat Smurf dial

Good luck with finding the right tool :)

How much would the AD charge to do the job ?

Schneeflocke · 1 September 2015, 08:31 AM

I got this from my AD when I bought my latest Rolex.

6767-F is what I use
