·Hey guys,
I recently bought this spring bar from Amazon and haven’t used it yet because I wanted to get everyone’s opinion here first. It’s a cheapo tool that seems to be a replica of a higher end Bergeon and I intended to use it for my new Planet Ocean. Admittedly, I didn’t do my research before I bought it and likely would have sprung for the Bergeon if I had known better. I’ve read that the fork tips can bend after some use which I’m not really worried about. I’m more worried if this tool will cause damage to the case in any way, above and beyond scratches that usually come with strap changes. I’m fine with surface scratches.
I know that I’ll be careful when using this. Do I need to worry that this tool will mess up the watch case in any way or will it suffice for occasional strap and bracelet swaps? Anyone else use a cheapo Bergeon imitation spring bar tool and if so has it caused any issues to your watches?
Appreciate any feedback
