I have been doing a little research lately about alternative straps, rubber/NATO etc and wanted to have the ability to swap/adjust the bracelets on my Rolex. My Bremont comes with a tool for swapping out but this is no use on the Rolex. I have seen the Bergeon 7825 spring bar tool but I can’t find this tool for much below £100. This seems quite expensive but also there is other tools such as the Bergeon 6825 which is even more money and I’m unsure of what advantages this has over the 7825.

Has anyone any experience, suggestions or alternatives as clearly I want the right tool for the job but can’t help feel it’s an expensive luxury that I may not use as often as expected.

I’ve had a look at some kits, but they all seem very cheap and I’m not sure half the stuff in them would be any use. Would be grateful for any useful input.

Here are the tools I use. The Bergeon 7825 is the best tool I have found to switch bracelet or straps. I bought mine from www.ofrei.com (Bergeon 7825 Extra Fine Forked Tweezers to Fit Spring BarsBERG-7825).

@Flyer737 you can find a member selling a similar tool to the 6825 on the sale page

this sales on Ebay as well for similar price than he does. I have one of those tools and it is as good as the Bergeron one.
