Bracelet removal question

For regular strap wearers/changers, what tool do you use remove the bracelet? I have used a basic removal tool and some tape, but found it kind of sloppy. Thanks.

Steve,

IMO you need a springbar remover to get the bracelet off - not a screwdriver??

If you have a lug hole case then its very easy even a tooth pick will do the job.A non lug case a little bit more difficult but with the correct tool link below quite easy. http://www.ottofrei.com/store/produc...at=3526&page=1

So, with a non-lug hole case, do you find the Bergeon 6111 is able to do the job well without scratching up the back of the case (provided tape is used)?

Hi,
Please can you let me know why the 6111 is better than the 6767F?
The fine fork ends look very similar?

My GMT has lug holes. Also, the screwdriver has a pin on the opposite end for pushing the springbars.

I bought the 6825-PF. Even though they were the fine, I had to thin it down by a few thousands to fit inside the slot. I used a dremel tool and a rubber polishing wheel.
