Fitting 1125/617 to the FOIS

I was just wondering if anyone has already / would like to post a tutorial or video of fitting the 1125/617 to the FOIS. I can fit straps etc to ‘regular’ watches but, as well documented, the 617s are a bit of a bugger.

I’d like to swap between bracelet and strap but came up short fitting the bracelet myself so took it to specialist in town who did it for me (I have the proper ST2206 spring bars for the bracelet rather than the ones which came with the watch). It would be nice to do it myself rather than going into town every time, who might just end up getting a bit pissed off with me.

Just thought I’d politely ask but it might just be a case of me trying a bit harder.

Thank you.

Having had another look, I reckon I’ll be okay with a tool that fits between the gap of the 617 so I can actually get to the spring bar. At the minute my cheap tools are too wide. Are there any recommendations that people know fits? There’s a Bergeron that’s been recommended in general on another post but just need to know which ones are narrow enough.

Thanks again.
