Don't use a screwdriver to change straps.

You need a Bergeon 6767F to change straps / bracelets. To adjust bracelets the perfect size screwdriver is a 1.8mm but the preferred brand (Bergeon) don't sell those individually anymore so a Bergeon 160 (1.6mm) works fine.

Best place to buy from is www.watchtool.co.uk, regardless of location.

Awesome, found this as single-

So is that lucky seeing a 1.8mm individual? I ordered it already. Maybe that link will help others :)

That's the Bergeon 6767F, not a screwdriver, and it's more expensive than watchtool

6767F is (I think I speak for most of us) the strap changing tool of the moment.

Should cost about £10 +pp

Yes, you just paid more than you had to - watchtool charge GBP8.50 to international buyers - about $13.50.

Right, but other than that and the models with integrated bracelets it's not needed.

Since the Bergeon 6767F was mentioned, just bought one to switch out my pro II bracelet and a leather deployant strap, is scratching up the inner aspects of the interhorns of the watch inevitable trying to get the springbars into the dentents or is there a technique to avoid this from happening? Thanks all.

Take a look at the video on this site - http://www.breitlingsource.com/video_ar ... p%20Change

If you are uncertain then put some tape over the lugs to protect them.
