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 ordered some Bergeon 7825 tweezers on Sunday and should have them today hopefully. Looking to do a couple strap changes easily.

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.

Here is a US based company that I just ordered from. I just got off the phone with them and they have 4 left in stock. You can do $3.95 shipping if you are ok with it being shipped in an envelope or $7.95 shipping if you want the protection of a box. Order from the web page because they are technically wholesale and only do phone orders with their wholesale accounts. If you are a watch shop or watch retailer, call them for a discounted rate she told me.

I ordered mine from Esslinger on Tuesday. Decided to finally bite the bullet since I like to change straps a lot. 7825 seems a hole lot easier and less scratches on the lugs.

I need this tool in my life but just wondering if the price is justifiable!

+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.

How much do these run? Also, are they available to the general public, or is part of Rolex's tool kit for it's certified watchmakers?

Nice find, I would have ordered from here myself to save a few dollars on it.

Not available for the general public, they are cheap for Rolex watchmakers though but for those outside of that there is a ridiculous premium...

Glad I didn't have to pay a dime for this *smug face*

Thanks!! Just ordered a pair. I've been looking for months but didn't want to deal with buying from overseas on eBay.

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.
