removing the strap on a omega Speedmaster

[docdoc]

Hello,

I am trying to remove the 2 parts that hold the watch and the bracelet together (the parts in red). Anybody could tell me how to proceed and wich tool to use

[FxrAndy]

they are refered to as the solid end links (SEL) are you trying to remove them from the bracelet its self or just get the bracelet off the watch?

So, nobody knows how to remove those parts ? BUMP

Turn the watch over so that you are looking from the back

At the rear of each SEL there should be two cutaways on either side of the SEL

These give you acces to the spring bar, if you dont have a tool you can use a screw driver to compress the spring bar and remove the bracelet, some watches there is enough play to be able to compress it and move it slightly so that it will not pop back inthe hole and then do the other side.

Does this help
