Watch Tools

I’d like to change the bracelet and the links on my new Rolex. What kind of tools do I need? What brands are good?

Thanks in advance.

Bergion 7825 “tweezer” spring bar tool
Horofix 1.7mm screwdriver
Loctite 222

When removing bracelet, not a bad idea to put some tape on the backside of lugs to avoid scratches.

Don‘t forget to heaten up the glue that secures the bracelet screws (with a dryer)

What kind of watch/bracelet do you have? That’ll help with the right type of tool for removing links. I recommend the Bergeon 7825 for removing bracelets and swapping straps.

Does the 7825 work without having to file down the forks? I had to file down my 6825FF to fit my bracelet as they were a smidge too wide for the opening.

The forks that I use with my 7825 is the EF and it works on Rolex and Tudor.

Bergeon 7825 is a must have for Rolex bracelet.
