Thanks - I'll get a Bergeon then, it's not the first strap I've wanted to change and I'm sure it won't be the last
Cheers.

I find myself wearing my Cosmonaute a lot and decided to fit a Hirsch strap, to save wear on the genuine Breitling strap. I hear talk of needing special tools to change straps on Breitling watches. Is there anything special needed? Should I take the watch and strap along to a Breitling dealer or will I just get fleeced for a simple pin push? Thanks. M. |

the overall consensus choice is the Bergeon 6767-F, here is a good source in Europe: http://www.watchtool.co.uk/bergeon-6767 ... -6516.html As I tend to misplace my tools, pens etc., I use this one, works perfectly well and ships worldwide for a very decent price including free shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Deluxe-Spring-B ... 20cc7112bb |

It's much easier than people think... I have a 6767F too and it's more than adequate. |

my $2 tool from ebay does the job just fine for me Bit of tape over the lugs to prevent any scratching.
