Fitting braclet?

Hi all.. new here and looking for some advice. I have an Omega Planet Ocean GMT and recently got the crocodile leather strap for it. In preparation I got the Bergeron 6767 tool and managed to get the bracket off no bother. However, lockdown has taken its toll and the leather strap is too small (I was told there was only one size!). So diet depending, the steel needs to go back on until the leather fits. However, I can’t seem to get the steel bracelet back on! Any tips/ videos on how to do it?? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Make sure you have the correct spring bars. Shorter bars are used on the bracelet than on the strap.

I only have the bars that the original bracket came attached with. Should Goldsmiths have also provided bars for the leather strap? Helpful for when I can finally fit the strap!

If you have the original bars for the bracelet, it should just go on. Lay it in from the back, conpress one end of the bar until it drops in, and then compress the other, and it should just go.
