I have finally managed to source a bracelet for my Mk2 Trident so it's time to seriously update my bracelet toolkit. I have been watching this topic with interest as the shared experiences are very helpful, thank you.

The 7825 WILL work on Omega spring bars, but the fit is suboptimal - it will slip off much, much easier than it will off a Rolex spring bar, and this (combined with the single flange design of the Omega spring bar) really negates the advantage and secure grip the 7825 offers on a Rolex spring bar. Thanks for that, another option at a better price than Bergeon, though it looks like it could not handle a Seiko fat style (tips are too narrow). A pity they don't also make a 1.3mm size so that one could interchange with the 1mm. Maybe a future? I would need to pay EU VAT etc on import from Esslinger so it is not a low cost option, but at least the tips are fair price, unlike Bergeon! You can use the tool to remove the spring bars without actually having to remove the clasp of the bracelet. many thanks for that, it confirms my research but I do not have the practical experience, so valuable insight. The 7825s look like the ideal design, but not there (yet) for my immediate needs and I don't like the fact that any replacement tips are ludicrously expensive - presumably Bergeon have caught on to cheapo copies needing properly manufactured tips.The original blades made with softer metal than the stainless steel blades. Some prefer to used the original blades with their Stainless Steel Screwdrivers when working with older watches that do not have stainless steel screw. Pair of replacement extra fine tips measuring at 1.00 mm diameter for the Bergeon 7825 Tweezers for removing and installing spring bars.. Yes, the tool is expensive. It can feel tempting to opt for a cheaper alternative, but you really do get what you pay for here. It is the tool that is used by professional watchmakers and your watch deserves only the best. Every watchmaker and watch enthusiast needs a good spring bar tool.With the help of a spring bar tool, you can remove the spring bars which are attached to the case of a watch and remove or exchange the strap or bracelet. I see what you mean about the 7825 being designed specifically for Rolex. I looked deeper and the tips are just 1mm, while the FFs for the 6825 specify 1.1. That 16200 must have been a nightmare!

Cheers chaps, thanks for all your input, I’ve had a moment of clarity, my watch buying days have come to an end for the foreseeable (unless a 14060m sub turns up ) So was thinking to start investing in some more expensive strap options. Considering I intend to be swapping straps on my Rolex, Omega, Tudor and Bremont watches why am I looking for a cheap option. I will be looking at the Bergeon range, now the research for the best one/price begins The Horotec tweezers are a great tweeter option - the tips of those are identical (or very close to) the 6767F tips.

The Bergeon 7825 is the spring bar tool we use at Millenary Watches and therefore have great experience in using this tool. I have a myriad of springbar tools. Burgeon seems to be the most solid. One I have has a flat "spade" side for straps. Works really well. There’s a reason the professional watch world uses Bergeon - they are simply the best tools for the job. Enough said! There’s a reason the professional watch world uses Bergeon - they are simply the best tools for the job. Enough said! Nik IIRC when I bought the 6825 there were two types of fork: F or the finer FF. The indication from stuff that I read on forums seemed to be FF for Rolex/Tudor, with F for Omega and others.

The tool itself is quite utility- there's not much to make a hash of, but the critical piece is the quality of the tips. I change out the cheap tips for Bergeon ones which gives you the utility of the tool but with high tool-strength quality tips that are fine enough to get at most spring bars but strong enough to not deform or break and all at a good price The tips that come with the cheap pliers tend to be made of soap/cheese/jelly .
