The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I have a steel bracelet on a Superocean chrono and was just wondering how easy is it to change the bracelet? I quite fancy allternating it with a a leather/rubber strap occassionally but obviously don't want to damage the bracelet if changes can be tricky.

Also, quite sure I read of a tool that's needed - any pointers?

Many thanks

It is very easy to change between bracelet and straps yourself. A springbr tool is highly recommended as you'll definitely scratch the watch otherwise. The best tool available is in my opinion the Bergeon 6767-F, if you google for it you'll end up with a lot of places where to get it. Then, when you have it, all you need is a somewhat steady hand and to think before you act and you should be all right.

Thanks Aleister. Time to have some fun choosing straps

Go with Aleister on this one! I have the same tool and it works great. Changing the straps is quite straight forward, just take it easy and be careful not to scratch, it's easy done!
