I got these to replace the Horotec tweezers that broke at the first attempt at removing spring bars.
Cousins refunded me and I bought these from there too.
The machining is top class and they feel solid.

I like these for SS bracelets more than straps, so far I have only managed to mangle my leather straps with one of these lol YMMV

I've only got 1 watch out of 12 on a strap so yeah I agree.
I bought these for taking the bracelet of this Longines VHP and putting the strap on that came with it.
The idea being that Mrs Turpinr could also wear it as the watch is 36mm.
Not only did she say it's too big but she also denies I ever mentioned sharing it.
So now it's back on the bracelet.
The tool will come in handy when in want to clean the various bracelets.
I'm ham fisted so I'm capable of mangling the lugs 😡

Just purchased this morning.

Quite neat, the winder crown sits on a stud on the case back making the whole thing nice and slim for the carry case

In good working order and condition except it's missing the chain that retains the winding crown to the opposite stud, that and the alarm click spring or lever looks to need me look at it ( haven't opened it yet).
