The correct tool will be a Bergeon 6767F - the springbar tool. One end has the fork for getting at the springbars in the lugs and one end has a depression for pushing the ends of the springbars like in the clasp.

Sorry it didn't work out for you - I personally wouldn't be without mine. "Big waste of money" may be exaggerating slightly though - it's less than $20.

There's a site called mywatchmaker I think and that guy will send you plenty of spare tips...

Hi guys im the official numpty as most know re Lings.......but i have been on a wieght reducing episode recently.....so my wrist has lost some Ling support....the watch is sliding round my wrist to the left......not enough for a full link though...the clasp piece ??? the piece with the BREITLING 1884 has some adjustment holes in it ......just one or maybe two slots would do the trick....... Do I need to use a special tool to do this adjustment .....or an AD..........many thanks

A sharp tooth pick would do the trick but it has to be very hard, otherwise use a thick needle but be careful not to scratch the clasp. I personally use a dentist pick it works great and haven't scratched anything yet..

Yup something plastic wont scratch for the most part. I have a rubber tipped dentist tool that I use.

Ye you told me this before and i bought it big waste of money Care to expand on that? Why was it a waste of money? Did it break? Was it the wrong tool? Is there an alternative that you found easier to use? Did you still scratch up your lugs and/or bracelet?

Post subject:	Re: Special tool
For the sizing on the bracelet you are referring to, sometimes I just use a large safety pin tip. Just be careful not to scratch it or poke yourself! If you ever start changing straps even occasionally, then I highly suggest the Bergeon 6767F, I have no idea what the previous guy was saying, but to me it's a no brainer. It's $20 bucks and Bergeon watch tools are the highest quality and preferred by just about every watchsmith I know. This tool was made for changing/adjusting straps. If you use a makeshift tool it's just a matter of time before you scratch the crap out of the watch (trust me). Also, get the Berg, the cheap copies on eBay break after five uses and you end up having to buy a higher quality one anyway. $20 < replacing a cheap copy < scratching watch

Plus shipping and a week of waiting time, then find out i never needed it in the first place.....But that's just me for other people it would be better to use the tool...I'm just so used to working on control boards and circuits it comes for me very easy, I just didn't think of it in the first place so when i sat down to do it, it just came to me...And Roff i didn't mean to say that it was a lot of money wasted i just simply try to say that it was waste of 20$....It's not that big of a deal...you don't have to take each post so personal....

6767f for me, perfect tool.

Post subject:	Re: Special tool
Well the 6767F can't possibly be a waste if you have any plan to remove the bracelet and put a strap on. Unless you happen to have a strong, 1.7MM forked finger nail. There's a site called mywatchmaker I think and that guy will send you plenty of spare tips. BUT for the clasp - nothing works better than a plain old push pin. Though I keep a mini tool in my wallet just in case.

Also could be perfect for pomigranate I suspect, so even better value. At your own risk of course. (yes a little bored.....)
