Please excuse my ignorance here and excuse me if this is the wrong place.. but what type of tool is that you use to change bracelets and bands? I am looking for something to start having options to change my bands out.. thank you!
I bought this from ebay for only 1 usd: 2PCS Hot Selling Watch Band Spring Link Pin Remover Repair Tool Bar. It is serving me perfectly!
I bought a 6111 clone off of ebay for a few bucks, and it was fairly awful. I then bought a official 6767-F and it is a night and day difference. The tips are much better quality, and significantly easier to change straps and not screw anything up.
Bergeon is tight, and the forks seem to be more durable than others I have tried. For references with lug holes, the paper clip works as well as anything else.
Mine was not a cheapy, I'll have to check what it was.... the lug hole is fine, it's the fork that's coming loose.
I use mine more than most here I would guess, and I've used it for years. Every few years I replace the small fork as it does gets worn, but otherwise I've never had a problem with mine...
Used this for years, 1.40mm. On the advice of an old watchmaker. Less mishaps, less blood. I can do it very quickly and with no damage. But whether this or a Bergeon 6767-F, to me the key is getting proficient with the tool you select. If you are doing 1-2 watches a year you are not going to be as good as Dennis doing scores of Speedmasters. In that case call a watchmaker (a real one like Al, not the guy in the mall or the jewelry store)
I have the toughest time changing the band on the Bulova Moon watch so I took it to a jeweler and he did it in 2 seconds. I need a better tool maybe one of the one's suggested in this post
This is an adorable beagle I found online as a temporary avatar.. My beagle is 12 y/o and will be crowning my avatar soon! I'm guessing those are your two beagles?
Dog avatars. Luv'em. I like to tease the pet dogs in the park too, letting them chase me. I let them get close so they think they almost got me before I ran up the tree. Suckers! They'll never learn. It's funny to watch their masters chasing after them too.
