    Hi All,

    I'm sure this is asked all the time, so I apologise.

    Can someone please let me know what tool I need for my Speedy 57? I want to use the same tool, if I can, to do my Tudor BB. I see all different types and sizes and I'm none the wiser.

    I don't need anything made from platinum, or designed by Nasa, just something not too expensive that will do the job.

    Thanks in advance.

    I definitely suggest spending the money and getting quality tools. I have bought a few Bergeon screw drivers for different watches and a nice pin pushers on Amazon.

    I agree with the poster above, Bergeon has arguably the best tools.

    Arguably indeed. In the past they were the gold standard, but trade a lot on their name now, and sell a lot of stuff that is junk for very high prices using that name...

    Depends on what tool, but for changing straps I do use a Bergeon spring bar tool - the 6111. The tips hold up okay, but if you intend to use it a lot you may want to get replacement tips.
