Hi all,
I bought this spring bar tool by Bergeon to remove my rolex bracelets so I could clean them, ect and it says on this website that it should fit Rolex watches. I'm a noob at taking off bracelets but the tips they gave me for this tool doesn't fit inside the shoulder to get to the spring bar. I bought the Bergeon 6825-PF model the link is below which is supposed to have the finer tips. Maybe they sent me the wrong tips? Did I get the right tool? What can I do? I have a GMTIIc and a green SUBc. I want to be able to polish the bracelets myself. Ugh. Thanks guys!

I belive you need to exchange it for a 6767-F spring bar tool (has the fine fork). Good luck.

X 2.
You could probably make the one you have work but the right tool for the job makes it SO much easier.

I have the same tool that you purchased, try turning the forks around 10 degrees off centre and it will work fine

I just received the same tool and you are correct, it doesn't fit. The fine forks are a little too wide. Using the diamond file on my Leatherman Wave tool I filed the tips a little bit to fit. It now works great. Very easy to remove now with this tool. Good luck

Hey thanks a lot GadgetGeek!!! That worked out amazingly! I didn't even think about it. I have the same Leatherman and did the same thing! Awesome tool now!

This is the tool I bought. The best price I found ($22.50 shipped) was a seller in France on Ebay (elisabeth9679).

May I know if any of you experienced Bergeon tip or fork snapped or broken especially the finer ones? I wonder why some companies sell the replacement tip or fork by set of 10. If Bergeon tip and fork do not break easily, why sell by set of 10?
