Bergeon 6825-pf for Tudor
Can the bergeon pliers 6825-pf be used to swap out the Tudor BB 58 bracelet?
I have been told the tips are too large to be used on Rolex bracelets. Anyone know if I can just buy smaller tips? |

I am curious as well although I am leaning toward buying Bergeon 7825, not sure if that's any better though.

Hi just purchased a BB58 and was in the same position. After a large amount of googling I concluded 7825 and also purchased 6767 super fine as a back up. I have been changing bracelets for a while using cheap tools and decided to treat myself. I have not tried either of these yet but I am fairly confident. The 7825 is the closest to replicate Rolex/tudors own tool. Good luck

Just so you know that the 7825 replacement tips are $80 a pair which are a complete waste of time and money imo. I got the horofix spring bar tweezers which is a fraction of the 7825 plus it comes with an extra pair of tips. The horofix also has double sided tips so for the tweezers itself you get 4 tips total.
P.S. the BB58 spring bar/bracelet is a PITA to take off. |

I believe you can use any spring bar pliers/tweezers with Rolex/Tudor so as long as the outside diameter does not exceed 1.3mm.

Also, how often are replacement tip changed? 80 dollar is steep... |

The “teeth” you use matters more than the actual tool. Be it the 6825 or 7825, you will need the EF forks to be able to do Tudor bracelet changes.
