Hello Good People,

Over the past 12+ mos., I've twice asked my AD to change the bracelet on my GMT II to/from an oyster bracelet to a super jubilee. I have now mustered up enough courage to do it myself (GULP!). I also want to learn how to make the change b/c I feel a bit guilty asking him to do it...which his does gladly and without charge. It does not have lug holes so getting the end links out is not intuitive (at least for me). Note -- I do have the proper end links for the respective bracelet. I poked around the site looking for a tutorial but came up empty. Can anyone provide me with a resource and/or thoughts on where I can obtain the required tool so that I don't hack my watch to death? Thanks very much.

Cheers,

Bergeron 6767 should do it.

Super Easy. I bought the Bergeron single forked end...It works, but the double ended tool (no clue the # of it right now), and it is MUCH easier and way less scratches (that you get with the spring bar hits the lugs).
