How do you remove the bracelet on a Z series Sea-dweller?

Alcan · 15 July 2007, 02:26 AM

With this spring bar remover. The second pic shows the fork tip used.

Jocke · 15 July 2007, 02:26 AM

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 don´t 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 I´m sure I didn´t
lost my watch.

I hope it helps and good luck.

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 it´s the real thing.

And then you get how you put it back again.

I hope it helps.

Thanks guys. I managed to do it.

Excellent Jocke!!

miner · 15 July 2007, 02:50 AM

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.

Lol it is a pity. The team of the 70's were up there with the best in the world.

South Africa are looking good for RWC. Southern hemisphere sides at moment are in a league of their own.

baxta69 · 15 July 2007, 04:02 AM

Bloody fantastic photos jocke. I am well impressed

Blue Bull · 15 July 2007, 04:06 AM

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.

JJ Irani · 15 July 2007, 05:18 AM

Very impressive and educational pictorial, Jocke. Thanks!!

wandyprawira · 15 July 2007, 05:28 AM

Just kidding, my friend. The laughs are even better!

How about for cases with lug holes?

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.
