Watch Tools

I would like some advise on what watch tools to purchase. I would like to change out bracelets, size braclets, remove/add links, etc


What tools do I need? Where can I purchase spare spring bars?

Thanks in advance.

I have a set of mini screwdrivers and a Bergeon strap tool never needed anything else yet. Obviously depends on how much you want to do to your watch I only change straps and adjust links everything else I leave to the watchmakers.

Spring bars usually come when you buy a strap but you can pick them up from Amazon, eBay, hardware shops anywhere really

I would recommend the Bergeon 7825 spring bars tweezers for removing the bracelet, and either a Rolex 2100 screwdriver or the Panerai 1.6mm screwdriver for removing/adding links if you have a oyster bracelet. I also have the Bergeon 6744-PS bracelet holding block that helps a bit when sizing the bracelet.
