Bracelet switch?
I have my Rolex watches and a Bergeon 7825, what shall be the first switch. I'm thinking a brushed 16710 on the Daytona, and why not the Daytona to the 16710!
Any combinations anyone would like to see? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

OK, I need a jubilee, I haven't really given this much thought, maybe I should!
And yes, I love GMT's! Here's the 116520 on the 16710! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

GMT on Daytona!
This is an amazing combination. I wore the Daytona most days for nearly ten years (F serial), therefore its polished CL's have mellowed. The weight that this adds to the watch feels very reassuring. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

if you're asking us specifically what combinations we'd like to see....
yeah, get rid of at least 2 of those brushed oyster bracelets on the gut's and put them on jubilee and super jubilee. you need to. |

i do too, but you'd have to go with a 16520 to get that look. the polished case of the 116520 with a brushed bracelet is off IMO. Alternatively, Jubilee on any daytona looks fantastic.
As for the OP the bergeon tool is awesome! I have one too. Not really sure how many combos you can achieve though with your (awesome) lineup. The deepsea won't work with anything, the WG bracelet, may not fit with others and if it did it would look funny and feel funny. That leaves you with BCLs and PCLs for a 16710 and a 116520, neither combo really work with their counterparts IMO. |

I'm close to pulling the trigger on a nearly NOS 16520 (some stickers, though worn). Then, this evening I wore the 116719 after two weeks of 16710 and I wônder why I ever wear the 5digits? I remind myself that weight does not necessarily mean better - think SL or RS! |

But a 16520 in NOS condition is hard to pass up. Contextually speaking it's hard to even compare. Aside from the character and physical aesthetics, it's appreciating at an incredible rate and good examples are hard to find. I'd jump on it if the price is right. Once in hand, put one of those brushed bracelets you have on it, and there's your brushed daytona! |

Is it really that easy to switch out bracelets on six digit rolexes with the bergeon 7825?

Yes, the Bergeon makes it very straightforward, I would add that if you are not good with your hands and are clumsy then there are still ways to make mistakes, but for anyone with a degree of dexterity this tool makes it a cinch!
