Hi guys.

This might be a really stupid question, but I have two straps for a Navi World on the way. However, despite my AD offering to change them for me when I want, I'd kind of like to do this myself.

I'm in the UK, can anyone recommend me a tool to do this myself. I'm told it's as simple as pushing out a couple of pins on the underside.

Many thanks.

Tool is a Bergeon 6767F - plenty of threads. This will also help - http://www.breitlingsource.com/video_ar ... p%20Change

Thank you. I did search for 'change watch strap' before posting this as thought it would be a common thread, but I couldn't see anything about the tools.

Maybe I should have added tool to the search.

Thanks anyway.

I meant just look for 6767F now that you have that as the name of the tool. :)

I agree with the above.

I picked up a new world a few weeks back in which I negotiated (on top of a discount) a blue strap. The thinking behind that was it would set the blue numbers off on the white face which thankfully it does.

The above tool was purchased for sub £10.

Press the leather back at the lug and put the prong tip up against the lug bar and press. Job done.


P.S. you're not wrong about the strap, mine gave me pins n needles in my wrist it was so stiff! Softened up nicely though.

Thanks guys.

I just bought this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BERGEON-6767- ... 0724470661 so I'm sure it'll be fine.
