Band Change

So I just purchased a NATO band for my Submariner. Watch is a V Series. How do I take the band off? Do I need any special tools? Thanks for your help.

EDIT: NEVERMIND.

Don't know how many I have bought, similar to that, used to get them at the NAWCC shows, but I have snapped off the pin remover end on every single one after a couple of uses.

I have one similar to that.. It used to be an industry standard. Mine is several years old and still works fine...

Some may not be narrow enough to fit in the slots of a Rolex bracelet and need to be filed a bit more narrow..
