Recommended tools/parts for swapping bands - 14060m

[CaptNico]

Soon to be the new owner of my first Rolex, a Submariner 14060m. I'm interested in swapping out the band on occasion, and could use some pointers on what equipment I should have on hand.

I read on this forum it uses 20mm x 2mm "shoulderless" spring bars. Figured I'd want an extra pair on hand. Any recommendations (or warnings) as to which I should get or avoid (yay fleabay!) as well as what tool(s) I should keep on hand? There are a variety of tools and sets on Amazon. I will not ever be opening the case, only swapping bands.

Thanks!

Toothpick is handy for the Sub bracelet removal since it has holes in the case to press in the spring bar. Your Dealer should be able to come up with a pair of spares, or you could try one of the on line sources such as Otto Frei in Oakland CA.

Hers is a DIY, although it shows an SEL initially, which you cannot put on the Sub, later in the example I do show installing a bracelet back onto a 14060.

That’s what I use on my Sub. Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the forum OP.
