I have a few watch tools from Esslinger and Otto Frei, Some Bergeon and other names that seemed to be the best I could find. I started out with a "kit" from Amazon, I don't have a timeographer like some here have but am interested, (is their one better than others, i'm not looking for a budget model but the best one that you know of, that you have.) Mostly I use them for bracelet sizing of Rolex, Omega, Citizen, Tudor etc and for battery replacement. Each watch has its own challenges, ie for Rolex the spring bar opening is 1mm, the best spring bar tool I have is 1.3mm, so I bought an expensive tweezer type spring bar tool specially made with a 1mm head. It says not for Omega, ok now what do I need for Omega. My other question is for the long timers of Rolex watches. Have you ever seen the secondary prices drop, It seems they only go up and up. Has their ever been a time you can remember that a correction on the high prices have resulted in a drop in prices on the "Grey Market", or even on the preowned market like the Watchbox? Just wondering what you know and think. Thank you.

Afraid today things like loupes, timeographers, etc, can and sometimes will be a Rolex owners worst enemy.
