Breguet Tradition Line - DIY strap change?
Dear fellow Breguet enthusiasts,
Has anyone of you changed his Tradition strap by himself?
I think the process is clear: 1) take care of the little safety screw at the bottom of the lug 2) then the screwed spring bar), but wanted to hear from others who did it themselves. There is surely some Loctite on the screws so the unscrewing should be done very delicately as well.
I am looking to buy a few different strap colors to rotate on my Tradition without needing to go to a Boutique each time. By the way: any strap color / material recommendation for the ref 7027 below?! I was planning to start with light grey alligator....
Thank you & happy sunday! Patrick

I never tried to change the strap. but if I had to do it I guess I will do as you describe.
For the strap, I think I’ll try to find a dark green one. But I need to wait my next trip and visit a strap makers in Paris.
I have tried before but failed
Maybe it was my poor skills but I thought the same as you in terms of steps. In the end, I found it too difficult to unscrew the “second” screw (wasn’t moving beyond a point and I then became concerned with damaging it). Took mine to a boutique instead an...
Thank you for sharing your experience!
I think I will do the next strap change at the boutique and ask to watch over the shoulder of the watchmaker changing the strap!
