Need help to remove bracelets.

Hi I AM NEW ON HERE.

I HAVE A STAINLESS STEEL GMT MASTER 2 AND A DATEJUST 2 GREEN ROMAN DIAL TT.

I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THESE NATO STRAPS OR LEATHER STRAPS TO CHANGE AROUND TIME TO TIME ON MY WATCHES.

I WOULD APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE COULD SEND ME A LINK ON
1. HOW TO CHANGE THE BRACELETS - USING THE RIGHT EQUIPMENTS AND WHERE TO BUY THESE EQUIPMENTS FROM.

2. A FEW LINKS ON WHERE I CAN PURCHASE THE BEST QUALITY LEATHER STRAPS, I HAVE SEARCHED FOR SOME ONLINE BUT WOULD APPRECIATE IF ANY OF THE MEMBERS ON HERE COULD GIVE ME THERE RECOMMENDATIONS.

I AM ALSO INTERESTED IN PURCHASING THE 116610LV SUBMARINER AKA 'THE HULK'. WOULD APPRECIATE IF ANYONE CAN UPLOAD THERE HULKS!!!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

REGARDS,
ADAM.

I have a Bergeon 6767F springbar tool. I use it on all my watches. If you are in the US, try mywatchmaker.net I have ordered from them several times with great results. You may want to add a couple extra tips, as they are cheap and will dull or break over time. Good Luck!

Welcome to the site!!!

As far as changing straps you just need a good spring bar tool. There are a ton out there but I have the Bergeon 6767. There are a bunch of videos on youtube on how to change the bracelet on your Rolex or any watch for that matter.

Now that you know how to remove your bracelet, are you ready to learn about the Caps Lock key..?

I'll just add to tape of the lugs and make sure you have good lighting. I also prefer to use an eye loup. Finally, give the wife some cash and have her and the kids leave the house. Don't need them running around making a bunch of noise when you are doing this.

That's not to mention the fact that when you get frustrated and start throwing things you don't need other people around in the interested of their safety.
