Guys I have having major issues trying to change the bracelet on my Corum Bubble.

Its a SS Rice Bead Bracelet
It has 2 holes per end
It's not flexible being steel

I am unable to get the bracelet into the shoulders of the watch with the spring bars in place, I cant compress BOTH ends of the dual spring bars at the same time to get the bracelet into the lugs.

IS there a magic solution?

You need spring-bars tweezers. Horotec, Bergeon...
The price change but Bergeon model seems to be the very best to use on a stabile way: You can find them at Otto Frei or "Ofrei" site.

Cheers, I have the tool but it just wasnt working.
Went with shorter spring bars in the end, but will invest in some of those tweezers
