Re: Changing bracelets -- need help!

: I wouldnt call myself a veteran but I had the
: same problem with my SMP :-) I ended up
: scraching part of the bracelet and still not
: able to get the strap off.

: Then I got the First Quality springbar tool
: from www.ofrei.com and it was small enough
: to fit really easily in the small space to
: get to the bar. Hope that info helps!

Thanks! I've managed to find a Toronto supplier for this tool, and will pick it up Monday. Yours was a much more practical suggestion than my jeweller's, who told me I should bring the watch in to her every time I wanted to change bands!
