    Bell and Ross Clasp/Strap Question

    Just got my first Bell & Ross watch--a BR01-92 and love it. It came with a black canvas strap and black nylon velcro strap. I want to order a brown strap from them but wasn't sure if it comes with a clasp or not. I am assuming it does not and was wondering if I could take the clasp off me black canvas strap and put it on the brown one? How would I do this? I can see a little hole in the clasp where it looks like I can access the bar holding it, but I'm not sure which tool to use. I would really like to save myself from shelling out another 85 bucks for a clasp when I already have one. Thanks in advanced.

    You mean a black LEATHER strap, not black canvas. You already mentioned nylon velcro.
    The tools that come with the watch are not for removing the buckle. You'll need a "springbar tool" to help you with that. Or, the dyi way, take a pin and push in that little hole on the side of the buckle. The springbar should come loose. Getting it back on your brown strap will be a little trickier, but you can use your imagination. Or just get a springbar tool, it'll always come in handy and make everything easier.

    yes thank you. i managed to get the buckle off but, as you said, getting it back on was a pain in the ass. i just ordered a spring bar tool online for future changes. thanks.
