Will a 2018 Oyster bracelet fit a 2019 Pepsi?

As the title.

What is the best tool to buy to remove the bracelet if you don't want to pay bergeon prices? My tight Scottishness won't allow me to part with £120 for something I'll use a couple of times

Thanks

The bracelet will fit if you use the springbars that came with the pepsi.

The really cheap version is to use whatever budget fork tool you have and just put tape on every area you could possibly scratch

A skilled person can use any, or a wrong, or less than ideal tool and make a perfect job.
An idiot can use an expensive Bergeon tool and make a right mess of it.

I use tape and a tiny flat head screw driver and have never scratched a case.

I’ve seen folk ask their AD to take a link out and the watch gets butchered. Lots of threads here.

Be careful, don’t be an idiot and you can do this yourself with an expensive or improvised tool. If you can’t, be sure not to give it to an idiot. That may include your AD.
