I've seen threads pop up from time to time regarding how to remove a Tudor Pelagos endlink as the tolerances are so darn tight that it can be a near impossible task. No matter what you try it can be a challenge. Here are a couple of tips to help out that I found through trial and error:
1. Press the endlink towards the back of the watch. So what do I mean by that? Many people will push the endlink away from them as they try to remove it which is the natural way to do it. However, with these buggers you need to do the opposite. As you take out one side of the endlink, use you index finger of your off hand (hand that is holding the watch) and push the endlink towards you (ie: towards the back of the watch). Then after you release the other side the link will pop out.
2. The right tool is a must. I've tried all kinds of things....Toothpick....Spring bar remover....fork......verbal abuse....but the one tool I found to work the best?

Yes my friends, using just this really expensive piece of equipment you can remove the endlink from a Tudor Pelagos in less than 10 seconds (if on the strap). The bracelet is a bit more difficult due to the bracelet getting in the way but it can be done in less than a minute per side with enough practice. I found the spring bar tools to be too difficult as they were harder to control and resort to the above trusty tool when needing to change between strap and bracelet on my Pelagos.
Edit: Added a video of how to do it with the bracelet as well.
