Removing a Strap
To remove a strap from your Breitling watch, use the forked end of the spring bar tool to push the spring bar out of the lug hole on both sides. This will release the strap from the watch case. Take your time and be gentle to avoid scratching your watch or damaging the strap.
Pro tip: If you don't have a specialized spring bar tool, a generic strap-changing tool can also do the job. Just make sure it has a forked end that fits the lug holes on your watch.
Once the spring bar is released, you can easily slide the strap out of the lugs. Now, it's time to prepare your new strap. Make sure it's the correct size and style for your watch. Insert one end of the new strap between the lugs and manually insert one pin of the spring bar into the lug hole. Hold the spring bar in position and use the tool to push back the second pin. Repeat these steps for the second part of the strap.
After inserting both ends of the new strap, give it a gentle tug to make sure it's securely fixed. Your Breitling watch is now ready to be worn with its fresh new strap!

Now, take your new strap and insert it between the lugs of your watch. Make sure it is positioned correctly and aligns with the case. Once in place, use the Breitling spring bar tool or a generic strap-changing tool to secure the new strap.

Adjusting a Breitling Watch Bracelet
When adjusting a Breitling watch bracelet, use a pin pusher to remove the pins holding the bracelet to the watch and remove the desired number of links. This process allows you to achieve a comfortable fit and ensure that your watch sits securely on your wrist.
To begin, place your watch on a flat surface with the bracelet facing upwards. Take your pin pusher and align it with the small hole on the side of the bracelet's link. Apply gentle pressure and push the pin out of the link. Repeat this process for all the links you wish to remove.
Once you have removed the necessary number of links, check the fit by placing the bracelet around your wrist. Make sure it is neither too loose nor too tight. If adjustments are needed, repeat the process and remove additional links as necessary until you achieve the desired fit.
After adjusting the bracelet, it's important to reattach the pins securely. Align the holes in the links and insert the pins back into place. Use the pin pusher to push the pins in until they are fully seated. Be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the pins or the bracelet. Once the pins are secure, test the bracelet by gently pulling on it to ensure it is properly fastened.
By following these steps, you can easily adjust the bracelet of your Breitling watch to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. It's important to handle the pins and the bracelet with care to avoid any damage during the process. Enjoy wearing your Breitling watch with a perfectly fitted bracelet!
