Proper tool to change modern Rolex bracelet?
So I know most of the people here probably change their watches from bracelet to leather, rubber, nato etc. on a regular basis. I am a bit behind the times with this. Can anyone recommend the proper tool for the job and a place to buy one. Thanks a bunch

Bergeon 7825 is almost the same as the original Rolex 3200.
I use the Rolex tweezers and works like a charm. Probably the Bergeon will be just as good. (check on eBay or on ofrei)

Make sure to get the 6825 with the fine (ff) forks and get a locksmith's file to file it down so it will fit. The 7825 is comparable to the original Rolex tool. Which is best? It took me some tweaking to get the 6825ff working and I can't compare it to the 7825. The fact that the ff forks didn't fit untill I filed them down was a bit of a disappointment. In my experience getting it it of is a easy, getting it back on was a different story for me, so in the end I bought a watchcase holder on Alibaba https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...%2029%2040.jpg http://s.aliexpress.com/3IzUbERF - € 3,15 incl S&H to Europe.

^ are the forks of the 7825 sturdy?
i have a similar and cheap aftermarket tool for which the forks broke way too easily...i'm wondering if it's just me, the cheap tool i bought or a risk with this kinds of changing tools? |

Thanks for the replies guys. Looks like the 7825 is a safe bet! I will probably grab a watchcase holder also :)

Actually, it also depends on your watch. Does your watch comes with lug-holes? If it does, all you need is a paper clip.

Oh, my bad. Modern pieces do not come with lug-holes. Sorry
