I'm trying to swap over the pro11 on my Ti seawolf to the OR.
But I can't seem to get the spring bars to 'pop'.(using a Bergon)
Is there a knack and what direction do the end pieces come out ie to the back/front/straight out?
Help

I've posted a few times what I do (assuming that you are using a Bergeon 6767F):

1) With the watch upside down compress the springbar on one side while applying pressure from below (top of the bracelet) - if you are holding the watch then this is easily done with fingers. You aren't trying to get the springbar all the way out from the lugs, just out of the hole.
2) While still applying pressure from below compress the other end of the spring bar and the bracelet should just slide out from the lugs. Breitling bracelets are too snug a fit for one side to come out completely while the springbar is still seated on the other side.

When putting the strap on, don't try and seat the springbar on one side first, just get it compressed between the two lugs and then maneuvre to fit into the holes.

I have the FB-504 - it works great on my Steelfish.
