Remove bracelet from SEL

[HPY]

Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there any easy way to remove the bracelet without using the Bergeon 6825 tool? I am having a hard time now

Separate the bracelet at the clasp to open the band for easier access.
Put the watch face down on a towel or cloth.....
When spreading the spring bars open, push down towards the table/face of the watch, and the sel should pop out with ease....

With a screw driver, I'd suggest taping off your lug arms on both removal and reinstall to prevent scratching the underside of the lugs.
It's better to be careful than not at all!

I learned this from our great master Jocke on how to remove a cyclops. It gave me an idea.

First gather the precise tools required.


Then aim it precisely at the small opening...


If above method fails there is always a back up...

Hey, that's my favorite, all around fix it method. Oh, and I finish with a firm kick to be sure it's really fixed....thanks for the laugh.
