[JoseR]

Has anyone use this spring bar remover? If, so, what size pin fork to use for the Air King 116900 oyster?

I have one of these by horofix, they work well, just make sure you adjust the tool width to be 1-2mm greater than the springbar width, and they're then very easy to use

Yeah, I saw those but I had ordered mine already and just got them today. Those Bergeon are nice and look easy to use but the price was kind of high for something I may use once in a while. I just want to make sure I use the correct fork pin size because it came with 3 sets. They look kind of small but this is the first time I ever touch my oyster bracelet so I guess I just have to be careful. :)

I had the W&S from Amazon. The tips were poorly made. The tool, not much better. Returned it.

Got this, instead:

Excellent tool. Bergeon makes one, too, but it's quite expensive:

Amazon returns are easy. Get the Horofix.

Bunch on eBay as well. After all how often will you use it. Before all this stay at home junk Ied just bring coffee and donuts to my local jeweler for a bracelet change.

I bought this a couple of years ago and returned it because none of supplied tips were the correct size for my Rolex spring bars, the tips were too small. Also, the build quality wasn't too good as well as the ergonomics for me.

Well worth the money and simple to use.

I have the Bergeon 7825 and it is absolutely fantastic. Plus it fits Rolex, Tudor and my other watches just fine.

It may be expensive, but then there is the old adage: "The Right Tool for the Job".
