What Tool Do I Need To Change The Strap/bracelet On A Planet Ocean 45.5

[chad]

Anyone know? Is it difficult?

Thanks for any help

You need a bracelet pin tool, a pair of pliars, and a strong arm. Those little buggers are in there tight. Also, watch that you do it over a tray as there are small metal sleeves in the "midlink" part of the links.

I mean change the strap not resize?

I use a simple spike. I find regular strap removers are not thin enough to get to the spring bar.

Thanks pug but I am not that advanced at this stuff?

I have no idea what that means and where I can get one?

thanks

I use a cheap 0.80 mm screwdriver on the 42.5mm PO, which I assume is nearly identical.

Place the blade on the pin shoulder and its an easy job. Most anything else may slip and scratch something or is too large.

Um ... a regular spike. Something long and sharp. A small but strong screwdriver may do, even.

I even found a photo of what I use!

Oh you mean a simple spike

Thanks

so do I jab the watch repeatedly with this?

How do I do it? and how do I get the rubber strap on after?

Well, you can, by all means. However, if I were you, I'd use it to slide the spring bars out of their holes.

Googling for "Watch strap removing" has several tutorials.
