Had mine for a while, now.

What I'm curious about is, what the other numbers stand for. i.e., 01/ - /10 - /21 - /60 - 80/ - et al, as they all appear to fit all Rolex models, naturally, and the majority of other manufacturers, too.

Bought that bad boy on ebay for 50 bux. Fits perfectly and makes bracelet changes a breeze without having to worry about scratches.

I thought the Bergeron needed some filing for a perfect fit, but the poster said it works perfectly, I'm assuming he meant right out of the box.

Don't you have to unscrew the bracelet to get it off because you can't squeeze the spingbar because of the bracelets width. Or am I missing something....
It's one of the reasons I like that unobtainable tweezer thingamajig, You can just pinch the springbar with the bracelet on.

I have been thinking the exact same thing. You'd think someone out there should be able to make these.

If they price it under $100 I'll buy it in a heartbeat and I guarantee at least 10,000 other people think the same. Here, you have your market analysis whoever is gonna make it. ROFL

Has anyone used this Horofix Watch Bracelet Springbar Pliers with the 1mm tips on their bracelet? It seems the tips would fit but before buying I thought I'd seek confirmation. My watch is a Explorer I 214270.

Ordered one and the 1mm tips work fine. The larger tips work with my Ball and Omega bracelets. Being able to slant the tips at 45 degrees helps with visibility. Although, my older eyes are going to need a lit magnifying glass very soon.
