Spring Bar Pliers
I know that Bergeon 6825 is highly recommended, but I think it is way overpriced at $190. Does anyone know anything about this? https://www.banggood.com/Watch-Brace...r_warehouse=CN

The tool will work, just ensure it can fit into the 1mm gap of the end link, even the 6825 needs filing.
I spent a little more on 7825 and never looked back, its worth it for me.

Bergeon 6767-F Spring - This also works well for Rolex Bracelets. It was used for my Rolex Oyster Bracelets.

If you do not mind spending the Bergeon 7825 Spring Bar Tweezer is one of the best and very easy to use for non professionals, which is similar to the Rolex tool #3200. It all depends on your budget

I use Bergeon 7825 tweezers on modern Rolex spring-bars, and I use a Bergeon 6767-F on nearly everything where I don't use the 7825 tweezers. I guess I'm accustomed to them.

I also use the Bergeon 7825 tweezers and they work perfectly. It took a while to get mine though, the only seller that had them was on EBay in Manila.

I dithered for months before buying the 7825, sometimes its important to have the right tools for the job.
They can be hard to come by, I got mine from Cousins UK. |

The bergeon is pretty overpriced, that is why I use the Rolex one.

+1 on the 7825. I ordered mine from Esslinger last month for $149.95. Way easier and keeps your case-back minty fresh.

I purchased the Bergeon 7825 this week and they are great for the metal bracelet as there is enough access to the end of the springbars. However, with a rubber strap like the oysterflex, the access is not as easy so I had to revert back to the Bergeon 6767-f and wrapping the lugs with Kapton tape for protection.

Im not sure that their web page has live inventory. When I called, the lady said they only had 5 in stock including the one I ordered. I was doing a head count based on the responses in the thread. Maybe someone backed out and you got the last one.
