It's not much, but I'm proud of myself.

Without too much trouble and without any bits pinging off and away, I managed to take a link out of one TAG Link bracelet and fit it into another one. I'm pleased with myself because I know how tricky it is to work on that bracelet, my local guy didn't have a clue where to start!

However I'm having problems getting the bracelet on the watch. The supplied springbars were rubbish and got binned but I suspect I need some which are slightly curved because no matter what I try, I can't get the bracelet back on, I get one side in but the other quite simply won't go.

Can springbars be slightly curved? Is the accepted way to just bend them slightly? I've spent hours today trying to get this bracelet on and it's annoying me now.

I think there is actually a tool to bend spring bars.

I'm not familiar with the tags,,,but seems like it could have a bent spring bar.

Also, congrats on the bracelet..those things can be tricky.

Goodness!

So many different widths, what would I need for a Tag Link?

And also, I measured the lugs and the bracelet at 21mm but I've shoehorned a 22mm nato strap in there. So would that be 20 or 22mm curved bars? I guess the latter but it'd be nice to have that confirmed before I buy a bundle.
