Icon9 Need help: BERGEON 6825-PF

Bought this tool, thought it'd make life a lot easier to change bracelet on my new SD "V" and Day "V".

Guess not.

Read about the fine tips needed some filing, but I don't know how much. Also, after numeral attempts with poor outcomes, the tips seemed to be worn out already.

Somewhat disappointed and feel I've wasted big bucks on this useless tool.

If anyone has any clue, please advise.

best,

eddie

Yes. The "pf" version of the 6825 singifies the small forks. Bergeon did not claim it'll work on Rolex, but there are just feedbacks saying it will.

Too bad, it didn't work right out of the box. Guess there'll have to be some mod to it.

You have to grind them a little at the sides, then it will work.

Good luck.
