Also, Cyclon, I have NO doubt in my mind that you made the right choice. As beautiful as the Speedy 8500 is on RogerP, I think that the original is much more elegant on your wrist.

One of the main reasons I absolutely love my Speedy is that I don't notice it on my wrist throughout the day. It's perfectly balanced from case to clasp, and the bracelet is perfect. YMMV, of course, but the main reason I don't wear other watches often is that they aren't nearly as comfortable as the Speedy. satisfied.gif

Love Speedmasters!

For some reason, the only one who has found a way into my collection is a Mk II, the awkward 70s cousin in the Speedy family. Dated, but I quite like it. Hefty on a mesh.

"springbar tool" is what you need my friend

 
You can buy it from anywhere of course, but thats where I bought mine

(i'm not sure if this model has fixed springbars though)

Whelp, I managed to get the springbars off without scratching the lugs. I hadn't seen Newcomer's post when I ordered, so I just got a cheap one of Amazon.

Now I can't figure out how to get them back in. shog[1].gif

^^^ Cool!  I have an Oris chrono with that retro-seventies vibe, but your vibe is authentic.

Getting them out is definitely the easy part smile.gif. Getting them in takes practice. Easier with a strap than with a bracelet. Some bracelets can be nightmares sometimes...
