Taking off and putting back on an oyster bracelet on a no holes case 16710 was easy? I even used a Bergeon 7825 tool and it still took me 30-40 min! And my wife helped!

Any tips from experts on how to speed things up? I used masking tape on the lugs, thank God!

The damn spring bars kept popping out, and flew across the table

Lesson to be learned here
Don't take the bracelet off

One of the many reasons I bought a watch with lug holes.

I'm looking to get the jubilee for my 16710 and wanted to practice using my new Bergeon tool. The 16710 is so versatile with with various bezels inserts and bracelet that one can't leave it in its original configuration

Take a screw out the bracelet so that you can do each half of the bracelet individually. Gets in the way if it’s a full loop.

It gets easier. It took me a while the first few times too. Now it's a minute or two at most

first time I did it when I bought the 63600 super jubille for the 16710.... had the tweezer and I sliglty unpress it and the spring bar flew off .... note to self, try to do in a ziplock back while you practice

practice makes perfect to be honest

This is what I eventually did. I was just hoping the tweezer would circumvent having to do this.

Thank you--I'm sure I'll get there too, but now I'm doubting if I should even attempt swapping the bezel insert myself. Knowing my luck, the spring will fly off into space

That pic is about 8 years old and still makes me laugh.
She's ten now and an all around great dog

That's an incredibly long time for a task like that lol. I would say it takes me conservatively 3 minutes. Spring bars flying is going to happen the first couple times until you figure out where to put your hands.
