Perfection! I haven't tried changing my bracelet yet.
Awesome watch! 👌
I only use Bergeon springbar tools on my watches. Swiss made tools that most of the professional watchmakers use. They are somewhat expensive but "you get what you pay for". Stay away from the cheap Chinese tools.
Here is a Bergeon springbar tool. Around $17.99 USD each:

They also make these tweezers that are designed to remove springbars. Again, not cheap but is worth "every penny" if you change your straps very often like me:

Thanks for the help! I just ordered the Bergeron spring bar tool and Horofix tweezers.
Practice is mostly the answer (though I would practice on a less expensive watch.) Also - some bracelets / springbars are more finicky than others.
If you are close to a AD or repair shop it may be worth the time and effort to have a pro get them off for you. I know it sounds easy but sometimes it’s more difficult

Ya, let’s see how these new tools work out. I always eventually get it. But it’s such a pain, there has to be an easier process or I’m def doing something wrong.
