I myself was very surprised that some really good 'budget' watches came with such lousy tools, some of them bend the first time you try a micro adjustment, and some are finished after just one spring pin removal. This is actually a real useful short video to bookmark for future reference if anyone out there is planning on changes / adjustments to their collections ( especially any expensive watches)
I really liked the video James. Everyone does watch videos but very few do tool and accessories videos. I am going to order one thanks to your video. Love you see more on this topic.
I splashed out on one not too long ago. Can't remember where I saw the suggestion but glad I got it as some of those freebies are just straight in the bin junk. Great addition to my watch toolkit.
I agree with this video - it is too worth it! If fact, I think there is a market for high end tools for watch enthusiasts. What do you think about that idea?
I destroyed a lot of the free springbar tools. Maybe I will get me a Bergeon tool one day, but I tend to change the watch instead of the strap. :D And most of my straps are quick release. 🕐⚙️🍸
Hi James, what was the link to the Amazon page where you bought this Bergeon spring bar tool? $32 Aus sounds link a worthwhile investment to me. I have a heap of the Aliexpress ones around the house too and all of them warp pretty quickly with use.
Hello. I’ve added the direct like the video description now. Unfortunately it has increased in price since I bought mine. Bugger. But still definitely worth getting one.

Definitely worth the investment. It has changed my experiences with swapping straps.
I agree, money well spent.
💯
I've been using one of these regularly for the last two years and it's still undamaged and going strong. Well worth it.
That’s great to hear
I’m sure I’ll get to this point sometime in the future. Good to know the Aliexpress knock off tool isn’t up to snuff. Thanks!
Definitely worth the price
Just a quick video today
Always pays to get quality tools. Nice editing.
Thank you
Always? No

Thanks you.
It is a great tool to have and it has certainly made a difference to my confidence with changing straps.
Yeah the Bergeon ones are amazing. I've had one for a few years, use it a ton, and it's still going strong. 🍸🍸
I should have bought it years ago
Good idea, great tool. Thanks James.
It’s definitely worth having one. Thanks for WATCHing James
Had to buy the expensive Burgeon springbar tweezers because my of my Tudor BB54. Easier to use, but still difficult lol.
I might have to look into those too
Yeah the tweezers are a godsend for tight fitting endlinks

I completely agree
Bergon tool are great especially for getting into changing bracelet/straps and others great tool's
I’m really impressed with it. I should have bought it years ago
In using one I've got with Seestern. Smaller than typical but build better, been using it for a while and stil holds.
That’s great to hear

It is definitely worth investing in a good set of tools and this is the one to start with

Hahahaha. That is a couple of ways around this problem

will it fit rolex watch? also why didn't get the latest model 7767-F,... thanks
I have not tried it on a Rolex. If it has standard spring bars then it should work.
@@WATCHingJames thanks for the reply, curious why did get the latest model 7767-F
Thanks
It was the one that was available at a reasonable price
@@WATCHingJames thanks 👍👍👍
