any tips on removal replacement of these - seem a snug fit with no gap to pry at the spring pins ?
Cheers !

Cheers sailor - will they squeeze in Ok? - the curved strap ends fit really tightly against the case & lugs !
I thought maybe the leather peeled back a bit to reveal more of the pin ....

That does look like you have decent open access to the springbar ends, I'm sure I could get my Bergeon in there (as the bishop said to the actress)

It's a fiddly job with a standard tool shipmate but with these it will fly off. Beware of the chunky cheap versions on Amazon. The price is attractive but they will chew your strap up. These are around 30 quid but will last years if you look after them.

Thanks all, will have a look in brighter light !
Much appreciated Matelot for the extra detail ...
Interestingly, the camera lens seems to have 'found' what I actually cant see with the naked eye - LOL ...
Just cant get a Bergeon tool to slip behind the single flange on the springbar so I can push to compress the spring ... sigh, what a pain !
Anything different about 'curved' springbars ?

They are a right pain to get off and also on !!
The 'F' tip for the Bergeon is better, also try to get both sides popped out as it generally won't come off with just one side popped.

You need the 'F', for fine, tip on the Bergeon.
I always use this for bracelets and fitted end straps.
