Which tool for micro adjusting
Which spring bar tool do you guys use for micro adjustment on an oyster easylink clasp (blnr)? I bought a Bergeon 6767, but evidently got the incorrect size because the forked end is too wide to gain access to the bar. Also, im guessing it's not possible to use the caliper/tweezer ype tool because the bracelet would interfere with it's use? Is that correct?
Many thanks! |

A few of us have been saying the Bergeon version does not work because the tips are to wide. So you can either file them down or get a Horofix version.

Did you get the one that comes with the fine tip? 6767-F? If not, the fine tip can be purchased separately.

Thanks for the help. It looks like I bought the 6767-F and it has a 1.30mm fork end.

If you're a bit handy you can easily make tools like this. I end up having to make similar tools but in smaller or larger sizes because of the different watches I get in my shop.
But, the nice thing about making a tool is you can make it to the exact shape/size you need for that one watch you want to work on. Plus the satisfaction of making your own tool....if you're into that. |

I've always had the old clasp where a toothpick would do the trick. What is the process with the new clasp? Do you still push down on the spring bar and slide it over or do you have to remove the spring bar and reinsert? Thanks!

Bergeon 7825 spring bar tweezers work perfectly.
