I was hoping for a little help. I was trying to change my jubilee bracelet on my D series pepsi GMT II to an oyster bracelet. I have the Bergeon 6825-with the fork tip ends to be compatible with rolex. However, the fork tip ends are still too wide to fit in the slot where the spring bar is located to remove my jubilee bracelet.

Anyone run into the same issue, and/or have any advice?

Thanks a lot.

I have the Bergeon 6111 and that fits perfectly for all the tiny jobs.

numerous collectors have the same problem with the 6825, and will grind down the forks a bit so they can fit into those slots more easily.

No need for that; just get the 6111 and all problems solved - fits perfectly for any spring bar...............and even for the adjustment of the micropin inside the clasp (for those clasps without external holes, as in the new GMT-IIC).

Yup...6111 is the one I have also..

ChicagoBigHouse · 11 October 2010, 12:33 PM

I managed to put on my new bracelet, mangled the old one a bit with the filed down forks, but mission accomplished! Oh, and I ordered the 6111 for next time!

Justin, couldn't help but notice the wolverine avatar and big house in you name. Michigan fan?

ChicagoBigHouse · 11 October 2010, 01:10 PM

You guessed it, long time fan and alumnus...hopefully better days ahead for our football team!

DS_Obsessed · 11 October 2010, 02:24 PM

Cool, I graduated in 96. Football has been tough the last couple. At least denied is awesome.

ChicagoBigHouse · 11 October 2010, 03:59 PM

Graduated in 2000. I was in Ann Arbor for the game this weekend, beautiful day, but lousy lousy game. Hopefully we turn it around.

Aspirin · 11 October 2010, 04:16 PM

I just got such china-made tiny fork in USD20 to solve such problem.

I'll swap you your 6825 for my 6111. Can't say fairer than that

InVision · 11 October 2010, 09:09 PM

I use the 6111. No problems. maybe the tips will work?

Casey VP-26 · 11 October 2010, 10:09 PM

Note: As JJ has advised in the past, make sure you get the Bergeon 6111. I ordered one last week and they substituded a inferior tool, even though I did specify Bergeon . I have called and they will replace with genuine Bergeon, for a few more bucks, but free shipping. Regards

My 6111 does not fit a datejust? Is there another size that does?

David Woo · 12 October 2010, 12:52 AM

Someone just pm'd and told me that Bergeon now has a special model 6825FF with fine fork ends, just for bracelets from that swiss company that starts with an R and ends with a x.
