Bergeon spring bar tweezers

[Cp827]

Received these in the mail today. I put them to use tonight and I’m very very happy with them. Makes it so easy to adjust your clasp or change your bands. Bit pricey but well worth it.

I’ve been thinking of pulling the trigger on these, if you don’t mind me asking where did you end up grabbing them from? I’ve been looking at them from Otto Frei.

That’s exactly where I bought it. They were in US and best price. I got it in couple days. Order over the phone it’ll ship faster. You’ll be happy

I have this as well, and it is a great tool. I had to get it from eBay for a little bit of a premium...must be a waiting list for these things as well!

They did mention they’re selling them super fast so not sure how many more before they’re back ordered

mine collects dust...bought it several years ago and never used it hahaha. I buy too many junk.

Is there much difference between this and the 6825? You can pick up ‘versions’ of these up on eBay at quite reasonable prices. Myself I’m looking for something to swap brackets easily on a GMT

I got these but I'm not sure that they are very strong.

I don't think they are working properly to avoid damages to your watch case.

Lol I’m the same way. Always buying random stuff

[Kneecough]

The tips on these are 1.0 mm and 1.3 mm on the 6825. I believe these tweezer type are easier to use than the plier type (6825). These make changing the bracelets alot easier and safer so you don’t scratch anything. (I used scotch tape regardless to be safe. The stuff on eBay might be a knockoff product. Be careful and make sure it’s not China made. (They break real easy)

I’ve learned that holding them at the wrong angle will cause the tips to break being that the tips are so fine. Try to hold at 90 degrees so that both ends of the tip have the same presser

Good to know! Thought there must be a catch there somewhere.

Just seen a vid of the tweezers, crazy quick to change straps!

I've used this on oyster bracelets with good success.

I'm going to try this, as when I use them it seems like they are not holding the bars properly or securely.

I might pick-up the 6825 just in case.

It should work perfect with these. I’m very impressed with them. From what I was told people were using them wrong and breaking the tip or scratching the bracelet. Use scotch tape to cover around it to protect bracelet

I had my BLNR bracelet replaced with the one that came with my SubC at an AD. The tech guy used this same tool. It was cool watching it. I'm thinking of getting one so I could change bracelets whenever I feel like it.

Very useful tool but definitely comes with a learning curve. Now that I’ve had a lot of practice it’s easier but my older watches ended up with some battle scars from spring bars popping out. Definitely use a lot of masking tape on the lugs, be very careful and take your time if you haven’t used this before. And always pull the case out once the bar is pinched rather than trying to move the hand holding the tool.

Bought mine recently from Esslinger.com, shipped fast and no issues. Think they are located in Minnesota so great option for us in the Midwest.

Yes same here I was at my local AD and watched the tech work on my bracelet with this exact tool so I researched it and figured out that this was the route to go

Otto Frei out of California has them also

[c.rod]

Ive bought from Otto frei before. Nice people.

If you look on their site at the 6825 they claim the best version is the 6825-PF for rolex brand. Ive been searching on here and havent seen anyone mention it..
