Bergeon tools

All -

Hope this is a good place to post this.

I was looking for leads for places to get good deals on Bergeon watch tools.

If you have places please let me know and thanks for your time.

They're both like candy stores! I think I could get into a lot of trouble if I start buying tools from them! I might start looking into places that I shouldn't look into

Thanks for the links they do have a huge amount of really cool toys.

I think you'll have a hard time finding discounts on Bergeon from any of the big supply houses. Prices are probably similar. I picked up one of their case knives on the web for just about half price, so it's worth looking there.

As always, use caution on eBay and other online sources. Many "Bergeon" tools on eBay are fakes. They come in the proper yellow box and carry the correct Bergeon part number, but are cheap imitations.

Bergeon tools are hard to buy at any substantial discount, but cheap tools can do damage that will cost more in the end.

Very good advice, make sure you are getting the real deal! Saving a few bucks only to tear up an expensive watch is very poor economy!

it would be prudent to buy tools from a source that like the two mentioned above to make sure they are real. It wold cost more to repair a case if it is damaged.

Thank you all for the great links it is certainly appreciated! I hear you as well don't be penny wise but pound foolish when it comes to tools. I want the genuine ones that will more than likely last me a lifetime.

Again thank you and you all have a great weekend.

I've ordered from them, and had a great transaction. Those other sites look good too!

That is a good site as well. I actually walked into their warehouse and was able to pick up some tools in person while in Oakland, CA.

Hi,

I just ordered some Bergeon tools from this supplier.

They were in stock and discounted a bit.

Shipping was prompt and secure.

Good Luck, Mike
