Product Information

Now on Sale! This is the newest waterproof case tester from Bergeon. The Bergeon 5555/10 can waterproof test to 10ATM (100 meters - 330 feet). The Bergeon 5555/10, features a removeable cylinder for easy draining, pump handle to manually increase pressure, can hold up to 2 watches at a time, and tests water resistance from 0 - 10 ATM. I've read threads here that the Bergeon 7825 is ideal for Rolex and Tudor spring bars / bracelets. And I've read that the 7825 can be used for an Omega bracelet, but the spring bars Omega uses are different than Rolex / Tudor and the 7825 tool therefore does not work as well. Can you use this tool to remove leather or rubber straps? It doesn't look like it and would appreciate a confirmation. Bergeon 7825 Spring Bar Tweezer. For fitting and removal of bracelet spring bars. Allows you to take off the bracelet from the watch case without removing the clasp. Points are replaceable. Length 120mm. Width of tips 1.00mm I have the tools you mentioned above - and a Rolex Sea-Dweller 116600 - in addition to my Omegas. The 7825 works superbly on the Rolex design because the spring bars for Rolex are double-flanged. This means there is a second flange on each end, so the 7825 has a very secure groove into which it fits to compress and expand a spring bar during installation and removal. The diameter of the spring bar is also slightly different from the omega spring bars.

many thanks for that, it confirms my research but I do not have the practical experience, so valuable insight. The 7825s look like the ideal design, but not there (yet) for my immediate needs and I don't like the fact that any replacement tips are ludicrously expensive - presumably Bergeon have caught on to cheapo copies needing properly manufactured tips. I have both the Bergeon 6767 and the Bergeon 6825. To be honest I use the 6767 possibly 99% of the time, but there is always the odd occasion where the 6825 comes into its own. Whether it’s worth it or not is entirely another matter. I have finally managed to source a bracelet for my Mk2 Trident so it's time to seriously update my bracelet toolkit. The Horotec tweezers are a great tweeter option - the tips of those are identical (or very close to) the 6767F tips.

I have been watching this topic with interest as the shared experiences are very helpful, thank you. I had a good look round various forums for experience of the Horofix tool and it is not in the same class as the Bergeon 7825. Made in China and the tips seem nowhere near as good - the hardening does not stand up to usage so people end up buying Bergeon tips! Those tweezers are the best. You should tape the lugs regardless of the tool you use. I use painters tape. I have the Bergeon 6767 tool and successfully use it to remove the bracelet on my 45.5 PO (cal. 2500C). I find it the perfect tool to remove straps or bracelets from all my watches, some just need a bit more dexterity than others. I have both the 6825 and 7825. A bit of a love/hate relationship. Sometimes I think they are easy to use, other times they seem more difficult to use than they should!

I too use double shoulder spring bars or Swiss type from Cousins which give the same ease of access, see this thread: viewtopic.php?f=53&t=50289 if you have not already.

I have a 6825 just had to replace original tips with fine tips. Work great on my Rolex spring bars. I have a myriad of springbar tools. Burgeon seems to be the most solid. One I have has a flat "spade" side for straps. Works really well.

When you remove spring bars with a pen-shaped spring bar tool, you have nothing to compress the spring bar with, which means you have to pull it out instead via the strap or bracelet. This can cause the spring bar to fly across the room or scratch/create dents on the lugs as the pressure from the spring bar is pushed against the lugs as it is being removed. The fact that you can prevent scratches on your watch completely is the main benefit of this tool. If you change straps regularly on your watch with the wrong tools, it can cause your lugs to acquire a lot of scratches and dents over time. This is obviously something you want to avoid. This is why this tool, according to us, is well worth the investment. Cheers chaps, thanks for all your input, I’ve had a moment of clarity, my watch buying days have come to an end for the foreseeable (unless a 14060m sub turns up ) So was thinking to start investing in some more expensive strap options. Considering I intend to be swapping straps on my Rolex, Omega, Tudor and Bremont watches why am I looking for a cheap option. I will be looking at the Bergeon range, now the research for the best one/price begins I just don’t how to change the blades because they are supposedly changeable. Works perfect. Fits nicely and easy to work. Takes out a lot frustration when fitting the bracelet to the watch head. Problem with tips breaking may have to do with spring tension. Some spring bars have weak springs, but if you run into one with a strong spring. Using tweezers is going to be a little more difficult. Plus keeping those small tips centered.

I bought a Horofix Spring Bar Tweezer from Esslinger for my C65 bracelet: https://www.esslinger.com/horofix-spring-bar-tweezers/ Every watchmaker and watch enthusiast needs a good spring bar tool.With the help of a spring bar tool, you can remove the spring bars which are attached to the case of a watch and remove or exchange the strap or bracelet. Brand New! Just found this Bergeon Stem Cutter, unfortunately like so many watch tools this item is no longer available. The tool itself is quite utility- there's not much to make a hash of, but the critical piece is the quality of the tips. I change out the cheap tips for Bergeon ones which gives you the utility of the tool but with high tool-strength quality tips that are fine enough to get at most spring bars but strong enough to not deform or break and all at a good price The tips that come with the cheap pliers tend to be made of soap/cheese/jelly . The original blades made with softer metal than the stainless steel blades. Some prefer to used the original blades with their Stainless Steel Screwdrivers when working with older watches that do not have stainless steel screw.
