Great tips !

Thanks for taking the time to post this diy guide.

Thanks Larry. This is something i would love to do it myself and you provided the instructions. How cool is that?

bewithabob · 12 March 2010, 09:17 AM

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.

Larry,

Thanks for sharing. Always a great resource here on TRF.

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?

Billmanweh · 13 October 2010, 06:02 AM

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?

sss · 26 October 2010, 04:34 AM

Nice tutorial!

Rodentman · 26 October 2010, 09:27 AM

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

alxforschnr · 27 October 2010, 02:54 AM

Can you recommend a good set of tools for this type of maintenance?

Thanks Larry.

This would be a great addition to keep in the Reference Library.

Larry,

Any tips/tricks for adjusting the folded end links so they don't rattle around??

Thanks,

Medtech

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.

mjclark32 · 8 April 2011, 09:15 AM

Great post. Thank you Larry

threemonkeys · 9 April 2011, 08:47 AM

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.

GeoGio Greece · 11 April 2011, 08:01 AM

But I always enjoy the pictures.......perfect !!

Thanks

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...!

SteKos · 13 April 2011, 01:58 AM

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.

Awesome job. This should be a permanent thread.
