Recommend a watch tool kit?

Can anyone recommend a watch kit specifically a tool to change bracelets and straps.

I was just about to post a thread on this too :-)

Thanks B. That will do nicely.

For leather straps (which are pliable) I prefer fingernails ...much less chance of scratching anything.
Squeeze the strap, catch the springbar with the nail and out it comes ...same for reverse.


For getting pins out of bracelets a pushpin (with a blunt point) also does a pretty good job. At least you can give that a gentle blow with a hammer, if necessary ...something the Bergeon tool wasn't really designed for.

Assuming you are just dealing with spring bars a Bregon 6767 will stand you in good stead.

I have bought a Bergeon 6111 from them previously.

I lost the 1mm fork, so i ordered a replacement from them, it was about a fiver.

When I went to checkout there were looking for €8.50 international signed delivery for the 1mm fork, I said good luck with that and hit flea bay instead. :mad:

I use a Bergeon 6825 pliers for my needs. I picked it up second hand as they are quite expensive.
