This is wonderful and informative. Thank you Larry, for sharing the insight and the photos. I suppose the one step I would also want to do, would be to put the bracelet go through the 'Fifth Element Autowash' while it is off the case. Everything I read here recommends a good sonic cleaning for the metal bracelets, but never when attached to the case. So I need to get busy and get the tools mentioned; can someone give me PM about the best place to purchase the apprpriate spring bar tool and the nylon fiber pen?
Now I can't wait to try this.

Thanks, this helped me take the bracelet off my SD, but the Bergeon 6111 does not fit my DJ...any idea which Bergeon fits the DJ best?

I was about to order a 6111 and I thought I get a pin punch at the same time to remove the clasp. Anyone know the correct size?

Tool
I got a 6767F from RHD and it has the proper size fork and pin end for my DJ.

Great post Larry.
Have you ever tried the Bergeon #5444 polishing block in place of the Scotch-Brite pad? I've found it presents a finish closer to the original Rolex brushed finish. |

Over a year since you posted this and it's still helping people. I'm putting on a Nato tomorrow (first time), so I found this very useful.
Thank you. |

I was eager to try out my new Bergeon 6767 and remove my Sub ND's bracelet...then I sat there trying to figure how to put it back!
Thank you Larry - this write-up was exactly what I needed...! |

Wow, I just found this. Great job on the details, Larry.
And it's great to see an Exp II getting the use it deserves. |
