The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Morning All,

I've been changing the pilot bracelet on and off my Chronomat Evolution A1335653 in favour of a few different coloured leather straps. So far my local Watchsmith has been doing this for me (for free). I should probably start doing this myself, has anyone any suggestions on the most suitable tool for the job, make model size etc??
Being a Sunday he'll not be in the shop to ask him myself.

Kind Regards
CR

The Bergeon 6767-F Springbar tool comes highly recommended.

I use a regular Bergeon springbar removal kit as well as these Bergeon pliers;

They are expensive but very easy to use without marking the watch. Breitling are an innovative brand and many owners enjoy changing straps which is why I think it's a pity Breitling haven't been smart and introduced a user friendly system like Panerai have for changing straps. I would love to see Breitling sell their watches with an extra strap and strap changing tool built into the box, it would be a nice touch which would increase the brands popularity...... IMHO of course.

You should be able to pick one up from your local AD, I got mine for free from my AD.
