I can't recommend those tweezers for rubber straps since a small slip yields cuts on the rubber.

Get the Fine 1.2 mm Bergeon Standard Spring Bar Tool BERG-6767-F and practice. I'm guessing yours is the 3mm type?

By doing one end at a time you have much better control.

I love my Rolex 3200 tool for springbars with collars.

That's a good one, almost the same as the 3200.

I have a GMT Pepsi with lug holes and have it on a nato strap but I have a new Sub on which I would like to be able to switch out straps.
