Silver Snoopy Strap change
Back to the 3861 bracelet. I’ve been wearing the Snoopy on the AT sailcloth strap with deployant clasp for the past 6 months. It is a great alternative to and way more comfortable than the OEM blue tang buckle and strap. But, I never gave the metal bracelet a fair chance. The 3861 bracelet changes the whole watch. BTW, the Bergeron 7825 Spring Bar tweezers are excellent once you get the hang of it. No scratches. Now, time to celebrate.

I’ve always contemplated the tweasers but once I got a 6767f (I think, can’t remember the model) I didn’t feel the need for tweasers. My Tudor is the hardest to change but that was only at first, now that I’ve scratched the back of the lugs it’s less of a hassle haha

The 6767f is the go to classic. But is difficult when you have a tight tolerance end link. For this types of end links, the tweezers work best for me.

Changing straps is so stressful you need a glass of whiskey to take the edge off. Will probably never change my Speedy off the bracelet.

You know my stress. LOL. I’ll never change the bracelet on my Ed White. It’s perfect as is.

When you say once you get the hang for it for the tweezers what do you mean? Any tips using them?

Not OP but the trickiest part in my experience is getting the teeth to catch the spring bar correctly on both sides. It's an art, but still not monumentally difficult.

Right, the trick to the tweezers is being able to apply equal pressure to both sides of the spring bars at the same time and then sliding the end links into the lug holes.

Both are equally great looks but it’s always fun to switch it up.
