springbar tool for oyster perpetual 126000
Hello
I'm looking for a good and not too expensive springbar tool that can be used on the 2020 rolex oyster perpetual 126000. The "holes" on the back are so narrow. So what would be the right tip size for this watch? I have found this cheap offering on banggod dot com. (search-string, then you'll find. cannot include links) Replace-Tools-Tweezer-Kits-with-8-Pin-Bracelet-Spring-Bar-Standard-Plier-Remover-For-Watch-Repair This tool has 18 very good reviews. It comes with 8 Pcs x Needles:1.0mm,1.2mm,1.6mm (missing one size?) Do you think the sizes of the needles would work on this watch? Thanks in advance! |

There's also this one... the Bergeon is probably better, but I've still heard of its tips breaking after a while. The replacement tips for the Bergeon are the same price as the full Horofix tool.

I have the Horofix and find them easy to use. I've never tried the Bergeon but it took less than 30!seconds to remove both sides of an Oyster bracelet on my Ceramic Daytona. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Don't cheap out with the tools. I have done that in the past and regretted it. I grabbed a 7825, taped up the watch, and took off the bracelet on the first try with no scratches.
Other tools may work just as well, but I firmly believe when dealing with an expensive purchase to not cheap out on the tools. |

I used this on my OP41 and worked well; quick and easy. It's also good for my needs because it works with many different sized watches / bracelets. Quality seems very good. Definitely do not go the cheap route... If you have any doubts about quality of any watch tool / equipment, just don't use it; would be penny-wise and pound-foolish! :) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H4K9T3Q

Careful with the 7825, it's a tricky tool to use. I haven't mustered the skills yet to guarantee no scratches on my Rolex yet. So my Tudor takes the scratches.

Another satisfied user of Bergeon. Been using it for the last 3years and never had problems with it.
Takes 2-3 seconds to remove the endlink but takes practice to be comfortable with it.
