W&S Spring Bar Plier Tool - to Remove and Replace Watch Spring Bar Pins
Has anyone use this spring bar remover? If, so, what size pin fork to use for the Air King 116900 oyster?

I have one of these by horofix, they work well, just make sure you adjust the tool width to be 1-2mm greater than the springbar width, and they're then very easy to use

I had the W&S from Amazon. The tips were poorly made. The tool, not much better. Returned it.
Got this, instead: https://www.esslinger.com/horofix-wa...ers-band-tool/ Excellent tool. Bergeon makes one, too, but it's quite expensive: https://www.esslinger.com/bergeon-68...tch-band-tool/ Amazon returns are easy. Get the Horofix.

I have the Bergeon 7825 and it is absolutely fantastic. Plus it fits Rolex, Tudor and my other watches just fine.
It may be expensive, but then there is the old adage: "The Right Tool for the Job".
