Can anyone please tell me which Bergeon tool is appropriate for spring bar changing / strap changing for a Seamaster 2254 & a Moonwatch Pro?

Many Thanks,
J

I bought a Bergeon knock off from amazon first, and frankly the tips sucked sooooo much. I then got a 6767-F and haven't looked back. Strap changes, bracelet changes - all have been a breeze without a scratch. It works very well.

I also am a fan of the screwdriver, like Cincindela mentioned. It will be a much better tool, the flat side grabs the lip of the spring-bar perfect and with more control.

Wah! I should have waited There was so much love for the 6767F yesterday that I went for that one.
Today I ordered a strap from Steveo Straps & am now wondering if I need a 6111 with the special fitting for leather. It's a lot dearer than the 6767 though, two & and a half times the cost

You can save $9.00 by buying an unbranded version of the 6111 from Otto Frei.

The issue is, the scratching mostly occurs when putting the bar back on... not when taking it off, the 6111 or any tool, butter knife or screwdriver included for that matter does a good job for removing springbars...

Anybody have tips or tutorial on how to get a bracelet back on? I was thinking a tweezer spring bar tool would be good?

I ended up buying a 6767 AND a 6111, both very fine instruments.
