Removing an aquanaut rubber strap
Its been my experience that removing an aquanaut rubber bracelet is difficult because in addition to the standard spring bar, there are two anchors perpendicular to the spring bars that fit directly into the case of the watch.Has anyone tried to remove one with a Bergeron 6825 tool?

Since they are pliers I was thinking it might work more easily, and by that I mean help me avoid scratching the back of the lugs...I really love the rubber strap, but would like to try a leather strap from time to time without tearing up my watch

A watch with diamonds or made of a precious material is 6.25%.Can anyone confirm the correct tax percentage for a Rolex Steel Sub?I repeatedly asked the agents for a final detailed account. They told m
