Universal watch tool set
Hi fellow watch enthusiasts. I would like to know what brand and what type watch tool sets do you guys use to change bands/bracelets etc. I am looking to buy one but can't decide which is best, should I buy an expensive one or less expensive.
Did price play a part in your decision to buy what you bought or any other reasons as to why you made your purchase. Thank you for your input. |

Universal watch tool set
I don’t buy tool sets becauseI feel they are mostly fodder that I will never use. I just buy what I need and make my own set
I stick to Bergeon -Wiha 260 1.5x40mm (for bracelet screws) -Bergeon 7825 Tweezer (for bracelet removal) -Bergeon N’ 4932 knife (for bezel removal) -Bergeon 6767-F (for bracelet removal) -Bergeon 6744-P-S (bracelet holder) -Watch cushion -Danco silicone grease -Polywatch |

Rolex 2100 Sea Dweller tool. Best for not messing up your screw heads. Good for micro clasp adjustments also.
Add the (Bergeron?) Tweezers above to remove bracelets. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk |

You only get what you pay for. Usually but not always the genuinely expensive are best.

Just quick question, do you use Loctite for the screws to make sure they don't get unscrewed over time and take the risk to loose our beloved watches?

If you know what job you intend to do, then buy the tools you need for that job, you'll get better quality tools, and only the ones you actually need. |

Thank you all for your inputs. I guess I will slowly build my own customized tool kit.
