Strap Change Tweezer Tool for 6 Digit Sports Models?

[crewsin]

Hello Team TRF,

I have a Burgeon "pencil" style tool which I've used for strap changes in the past, but I picked up a PM piece recently and don't want to scratch up the caseback when changing the bracelet to a strap.

Two questions:
1) Does anyone have a tweezer style strap tool they recommend?
2) The space for getting to the spring bar flanges are very small on the 6 digit sports references. Does anyone know which "fork bit" size or reference number I would need for said tweezers that is small enough?

Thanks!

I’d look at the Bergeon 7825 & 6825. No personal experience with either if they’ll work on a sports model but my guess is they would.

Absolutely. Just got one myself last month. Bergeon 7825, costs 150$ but it is worth every penny. Makes it very difficult to scratch the lugs.
This is the video that made me buy it.
