Like this.
You need a watch, a tool and a tape. I go with the great watchmaker knife from Bergeon/Wenger. Then I put some tape at the backside of the lugs so I donīt scratch them. Here you can see the springbar a little closer. So I pull out the tool that I need. It looks like this. Then I put it in place and push at the springbar into the endlink. Then I pull out the endlink carefully and push at the springbar at the other side until the endlink pop out. Then I put it back again at the same way as I took it off. First one side and then the other and when the springbar is inside the case at both sides I push down the endlink. Then I have to listen to a little click when the springbar pop out in the casehole. After that I will check very carefully so the springbar is out correct in place at the case so Iīm sure I didnīt lost my watch. I hope it helps and good luck. Jocke |

And if you have the Bergeon spring bar tool.
So I start with the watch. And turn it around. Here we have springbars and no holes straight against the case. A little closer to the springbar. So I have to pull out the tool. Mmmm, great craftmanship. We go a little closer. And closer. Ok, here we go. Here you can see a little better how the tool works. Here is the bracelet off. Now I can see so itīs the real thing. And then you get how you put it back again. I hope it helps. Jocke |

Bergeon 6825, I have to get one of those, otherwise you need a toothpick to jam in one end whilst you free the other end.
Thanks Jocke, once again amazing pics and terrific advice. |

Yes it is Gareth Edwards.
Wallabies are looking impressive for forthcoming RWC. In the same group as Wales too! |

Steve,it is a magnificent try !! Havent seen it in a long time,thanks for the link.
Dont forget the French for the RWC.They have always reached the semis or final...... and this time they are playing at home.I see them as the norths best chance against the southerns three. |

Apparently the bergeon 6825 tool doesn't work on rolex bracelets.

That makes the whole thing much easier. All you need is a tool with the pointed thing at one end and you can poke the spring-bar out through the lug hole.
