What tool do you use to change out the original sailcloth strap on the bathyscaphe? I find changing straps fairly easy (esp for the normal FF) and even other watches (leather, rubber, nato all have a fair amount of give that allows you to squeeze the tool in) with the right tools. But the sailcloth on the bathyscaphe is so stiff I can barely squeeze my typical tool in (for ex. the forked end of a bergeon 6767).

Also have several Barton’s straps. That model looks great with your watch. You should also try their rubber/silicon strap. I find them amongst the most comfortable!

Nice combo
