BTW with those Bergeon 6111s, I bought the genuine 6111, and then 3 of the Chinese versions of it, thinking a $5 piece of steel can't be worth $62 from Bergeon. There's a mountain of difference between the 6111 and the Chinese version, one is a quality precision instrument, the other has blunt ends that don't secure properly.
Here's a helpful hint for those looking to save some money: buy the cheap Chinese version for a couple bucks, then buy the Bergeon replacement spatula ends and replacement fork ends for about $5 each. Grand total= under $20 The Bergeon tips are indeed superior to the generic, but honestly, unless you're doing this for a living there's not much need to spend $62 for such a simple tool. Just take your time and be careful not to use the tool as a pry bar, which will snap off the tip even on the Bergeon tools. I use the generic version of the 6111 for my work, and found that spending 30 seconds on a Arkansas sharpening stone to touch up the tips was all I needed to do to make it work reliably well. Though I do have a Bergeon 6825 that is useful for removing bracelets and tricky pieces.
I would argue there's no need to spend thousands of $$$$ on a watch either but everyone here does it multiple times a year.
I would argue there's no excuses for buying cheap tools. Having bought a load of cheap hand and power tools when I was younger, and watching them fail mid-job, I now only buy decent tools that should last a lifetime (same for kitchen equipment..). Particularly if the tools in question are going anywhere near my watches.
