Looking for a Tool to hold a case

I'm looking for a tool that will hold my 36mm DD & DJ while changing bands. It would be nice to find something so I could both hands . I found this on ebay but wondered if anyone else had something they would recommend .

https://www.ebay.com/itm/WATCH-CASE-...EAAOSwPsBdm9Vv

Thanks Chris

I just hold the watch, face down, with one hand and use the tweezer tool (Bergion 7825) with the other. Works great.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm not sure that would work on a whole case date just where you have to go in from the outside to depress the pin and then pull it out. That's kind of why I'd like to have two free hands while the watch head is being held.

Here is the one I use.

The bottom has lugs that clamp into any vise if you need one.

I think that's the same one I use. I bought mine from Esslinger. It will accommodate cases up to 60mm in diameter. It's on sale for $14.30.

It's weird being the same age as old people.

I recommend the 5090. It is absolutely excellent, just as everything else Bergeon.

The right tool for the job is ALWAYS a worthwhile expense.
