Bergeon 7825 Spring Bar Tweezer - HT7825

Product Information

Similar to the OP, I have the Bergeon 6767 tool with the fine 1.2mm tip and the wider 3mm tip, and whilst it has worked fine with all watches in my small collection, I do fancy trying the pliers/tweezers for easier changes and less risk of scratching the case lugs during the process. Most watches use spring bars to keep the bracelet or strap in place and to remove the spring bars, you need a good tool. But with that said, not all spring bar tools are created equal. by Amor Vincit Omnia» Mon Apr 03, 2023 6:02 pm» in Straps 9 Replies 385 Views Last post by Bahnstormer_vRS Take your time, set the watch on something solid but padded and take your time, especially with the bracelet, it can be frustrating. Any thin tip tool works, just takes practice and I agree with the above poster, use tape on the lugs to keep from scratching them.

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. 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. Nik IIRC when I bought the 6825 there were two types of fork: F or the finer FF. The indication from stuff that I read on forums seemed to be FF for Rolex/Tudor, with F for Omega and others. Specially designed glass bottle for Epilame. For use with Moebius-Fixodrop No 8940, 8941, 8950, 8951. Comes with bottle, cap, and basket. 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.The Bergeon 7825 is the spring bar tool we use at Millenary Watches and therefore have great experience in using this tool. I bought a Horofix Spring Bar Tweezer from Esslinger for my C65 bracelet: https://www.esslinger.com/horofix-spring-bar-tweezers/ To many, this tool seems so simple that technically, they should all be very similar, which should mean you could just buy the cheapest tool out there to get the job done. But this assumption could not be more incorrect, and this is something that a lot of people discover when they try a high-quality, premium spring bar tool, from previously having used a cheap and basic alternative. Here's the exact answer I was looking for. a big thank you to you for having been kind enough to reassure the anxious old man that I am. 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.

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. Pair of replacement extra fine tips measuring at 1.00 mm diameter for the Bergeon 7825 Tweezers for removing and installing spring bars.. 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

Comforting to hear that the 6825 can handle CW bracelets easily, they also managed one of my Seikos but it was not as easy as I thought. Probably not a fair test though as the tips were hopeless and I ended up completing the job with the trusty 6767. These two are very competitively priced and not sure which to get between them... any pointers would be greatly appreciated. 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 have finally managed to source a bracelet for my Mk2 Trident so it's time to seriously update my bracelet toolkit. This 30007 countersink assortment is new, however years ago (when we thought replacements were available) we sold the 1.60 and 5.00 sizes. Sizes in this set: 1.30, 1.90, 2.20, 2.50, 2.80, 3.10, 3.40, 3.70, 4.00 and 4.50 mm. You can use the tool to remove the spring bars without actually having to remove the clasp of the bracelet. 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! 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.

Authenticity

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. I went for the one with the finer forks. I have used the FF on a 16570 Explorer II, but the tips were still too wide to use on a 16200 DateJust on Jubilee bracelet. As you say, for me right now it would be clearly best to go 6825. It's unlikely that I would acquire another Rolex (though I do have a soft spot for the Explorer 216570) so I feel I can safely ignore the 7825. When it comes to tools for working on your watch, tools are the last thing you want to compromise on.

Spring bar fitting tweezers with extra fine tips measuring at 1.00 mm diameter. This tool is great for bracelets with small spring bar openings. Allows to take off the bracelet from the watchcase without removing the clasp. The 7825 WILL work on Omega spring bars, but the fit is suboptimal - it will slip off much, much easier than it will off a Rolex spring bar, and this (combined with the single flange design of the Omega spring bar) really negates the advantage and secure grip the 7825 offers on a Rolex spring bar. Using the Bergeon 7825 spring bar tool, removing spring bars will be a breeze. Plus, you will minimize the risk of slipping or scratching your watch.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 .
