Spring Bar Tool Recommendations?

I am needing a Spring Bar tool to take my Rolex bands off. I have an Explorer 2 216570 that I want to adjust the micro adjust in the bracelet as well.

I found some on Amazon but they seem to be junk? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Horofix spring bar pliers

Bergeon spring bar tweezers

I currently prefer the horofix because you can adjust the tips to 45deg, but I recommend you get both.

Thanks Easy! I appreciate it!

Some one beat me to it 77. I might grab that and see if it will take out the fine wear from whomever did it before me.

I agree.

Mostly recommended by those who have never used one?

I have tried one at various length settings (on non Rolex SS watches) but can’t come close to matching an authentic Rolex brushed finish.

I tend to buy from Otto Frei, Esslinger always kind of disappointed me.
