Bergeon 7825 and Submariner - did I mess up the springbar hole?

[bk01]

I’m in the same boat. I bought the same tweezers to install a Rubber B strap that I did not like and returned.

Upon reinstallation of the oyster bracelet, the springbars popped out a couple of times before I could secure it in the holes (I think taping the lugs made everything a bit more complicated as the endlinks were gripping a tiny bit when being inserted in the lugs).

Two of my lugs now look EXACTLY like yours with a tiny tiny dent at the sharp edge. They are barely visible to my 50 years old eyes without using a loupe. But definitely similar to yours.

I'm sure RSC will restore this to perfection when it's time for service.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Do you happen to have pics of the springbar hole where that dent occurred? Very curious to see if there’s similar damage…

I noticed the little dents after replacing the bracelet. And I'm not removing it again to take a picture
