New C20. First time on the wrist: it came with the steel bracelet, but I fancied a leather strap for a change. Wera sourced one for me. Just switched it.

Looks great. How did you find the process of swapping the bracelet for the leather strap? (I'm thinking of doing the same for my C2 FLE.)

Thanks Welshlad. I managed to get the one spring bar out quite easily but the other one was a real pain. Eventually I popped to my local watch repair man since I had to put a new battery in my wife's Seiko. He got it out for me. The easy part is putting the new strap on; if you can wangle out the bracelet spring bar it's a cinch. Mine just wouldn't come free. Mind you, I didn't use a Bergeon: remedied that by buying one.

Thanks. I may try to work up enough courage to try this over the weekend!
