Get yourself a Bergeon 6767 spring bar tool, I use it all the time to rotate between the bracelet and a bunch of zulus/natos I have for my Breitling.

A special tool? I was thinking I could be resourceful and do by hand, wishful thinking :-(

Of the watches in my 'sig' which do you think would be 'Nato-worthy'??

You might be able to rig something together to get the spring bars out, but the spring bar tool is less than $20, and it works like a charm, and will definitley save you from scratching the hell out of the lugs.

I think all your watches would like cool on a nato. The great thing about nato's is that you have so many options; nylon, leather, shark grained, striped, solid colors, etc. and they're cheap! I did a Google image search of all the watches in your sig and they all returned good results!

Cool thanks mate! I may go for the 'watch to match footwear' look with the Natos
