Hi guys, quick question. The Tudor Pelagos comes with a rubber strap but totally no tools to remove the bracelet and fit the rubber strap. I brought the watch to Rolex Pavilion and Hour Glass Gardens asking them if they could change the strap for me but both dealers asked me to send the watch back to the Rolex service center - which I think is quite a dumb solution!
How do you guys change the strap? Don't you think it's ridiculous to have to send the watch back to the service center just for a strap change??

I change the straps myself. go get yourself the tools and have fun with your watch.
alternatively, if u're weary about it, u can send it to any watch shops for a fee.
there are some decent shops in amcorp mall which u could check around.
below are the common tools for strap changing.

Switching bracelet to straps and vice versa is very simple for any watch.
I switch from the Tudor bracelet to the rubber strap and back often.
You just have to be careful to avoid any scratches.
Buy a good Bergeon or Horotec Swiss tool not those cheap 'made in china' stuff which can bend or break. Thats when you will accidentally slip and scratch your case.

Search though the threads in the forum. There's instructional post on how to remove the bracelet.

Thanks for the tips guys. Will give it a try and pray I don't scratch my case!
