What has become my absolute favorite tool for removing Rolex bracelets is the Bergeon 6825. This tool slides both sides of the springbar simultaneously such that you are not playing see-saw with the springbar. The standard tips that are included with the tool are a little too wide. I ground them down slightly to fit inside a Rolex solid end link (SEL). Althouth Otto Frei indicates that this tool will not work with Rolex bracelets, a simple filing of the tips makes this the preferred tool for removing SEL bracelets.

This tool is pricey, but if you are going to be removing Rolex bracelets, it is well worth the cost for Swiss precision and less cursing at yourself for creating scratches from removing or reinstalling the bracelet.

As Sheldon says, you need to have very narrow ends on your spring-bar removal tool for a Rolex. The "spade end" of many cheaper models is much too wide for anything but a leather strap.

There are many models that will work, here I use a Bergeon 6111 to remove a bracelet. This tool has an end that has the punch end for removing lug holes bracelets removeable, you can then reverse it and re-install this v-groove end for bracelets..

So the Bergeon 6111 Defineatly fits your daytonas micro adjustment bracelet springbar larry by fits i mean you can access the springbar through the link opening. it comes with the standard 4mm fork is this too large i see a 1mm/3mm is also available would you know what the fork width needs to be for a rolex

Thanks

I agree it is the best tool available IMO and I got the fine fork version that is 6825-FF and it fits the Rolex Bracelet without any filing of tips!!Supercool

As far as I am concerned, the way Sheldon describes is the only way for someone who is not doing this all the time. I own a 6111, but professionally I use a tool like sheldon described from Rolex. Keep those lugs scratch free!

Hi, When the standard forks are filed down is the idea to make them as small as the thin forks?
Are the thin FF forks a perfect fit of do they need to be a bit bigger?
In other words which do I order for the best job of all!!??

Thank you very much,

hey Peter, the fine forks fit perfectly and they need not be any bigger so the fine forks would be best of all.
