What tools are needed for sizing and installing endlinks

[broncophil]

Hello.

Just got a new gmtc, and wanted to size it myself.

at the same time, i wanted to put a leather strap and endlinks from smartyjones on my 114060, what tools do i need and where can i find instructions?

thanks.

All you really need are a 1.6mm screwdriver, Bergeon 6111 (w/ fine tip), and tape.

If I understood you correctly....No the tip of the Bergeon tool should do the trick. The fork end compresses the springbar...Compress and then push it out. Do the reverse when installing.

There are a few youtube videos on install and removal.

good luck
you might want some tape as well to prevent scratches
I use airbrush modelling tape

Besides tools you need some practice or the new watch will be collecting your errors in a series of scratches.

But at least they'll be on the bottom and be gone again after the first service.

A net is also handy plus earplugs for your better half.

Earplugs for when you scream out all those "magic" words!

Items as above plus of coarse common sense work slow and carefully, once you have done it once next time you could do it with your eyes closed.

I find that wearing a magnifying visor helps the process tremendously. I can remove mine literally without fear of scratching the lugs....but I use tape anyway.

Oh come on...you CAN do it!!!

With a toothpick and screwdriver...I change my bracelet/strap multiple times a week. Takes (literally) about 1 minute to do.

It is not that difficult....Tons of video's on how to do it.
