Changing Rolex bands

I was wondering if this community could provide some links and advise for changing Rolex bands. Sure seems like a lot do it. I have only done it on my Panerai as it is such an easy system. I am very fearful of getting scratches.

Can this be done easily without any scratching? What tools do folks recommend? I see some people posting Bergeron tools. Any YouTube videos showing how that people recommend. In particular I would really like to swap my Sub oyster bracelet for a Rubber one to change things up.

I would recommend a Bergeon 7825 pliers and some electrical tape for taping the lugs while you swap the bracelet...if you take your time and tape the lugs it can absolutely be done without scratching.

I use the horofix tweezers. Same as the 7825 but half the price. Also a bit of clear tape for safety measure. You can get them on the esslinger website
