Bracelet Installation Question

[doc_colton]

I've got a "P" series Sub Date with SEL's and the case has lug holes. Can someone tell me how you reinstall the bracelet? How do you compress the springbar to get it back on? There are no little slots on the inside of the end piece. Is there a trick to this? Never tried it before.

Here's how, doc.....

- Place watch-case dial down on a soft cloth.

- Insert spring bar through the SEL and place gently on top of the protruding lugs (you might want to place strips of cellotape across the lugs first!!)

- Using the flat-head of a good screwdriver get one end of the spring-bar into one hole.

- Place thumb firmly on the SEL and then with the same screwdriver press the other end of the spring-bar in.

- Gently wiggle around until you hear a resounding click and can see both ends of the spring-bar through the lug-holes on both sides.

Repeat same procedure with other side.

Best - JJ
