Can anyone recommend an AD in lancashire to remove the calf leather strap on my Navi 01 and replace with and size my new Navi bracelet? I did visit 2 jewellers today neither of which would attempt this, both were AD's for a number of high end watches and one is also a Breitling AD (They advised they would need to send the watch to Breitling for this procedure??) I know a lot of you do this yourself so I bought a Bergeon 6767 hoping to have a go. Decided against it when I realised I could not differentiate between the pointed and forked end of the tool. |

Can't help you on a Lancashire AD, sorry, but amazed that a Breitling AD wouldn't do this for you. To be honest I wouldn't trust most sales staff to do it, but any AD with a watchmaker on site should be able to do it for you. |

Sending it away is ridiculous. |

I've always done all my bracelet adjustments and replacements myself. It's not a complicated operation at all. As long as you can handle small screws and have some patience you should be able to do it yourself. |

Done it With a combination of 2 pairs of glasses(at the same time) a loupe and my unused Bergeon 6767 I now have a Navi on bracelet. Just got the puzzle of sizing a 7 row bracelet now. |
