Thread: Which Bergeon Bracelet Removal Tool?

  1. #1

    Which Bergeon Bracelet Removal Tool?

    Hi,
    I have both aluminium bezel and ceramic bezel Rolex sports watches and would like to remove some bracelets.
    Looking at Cousins, there appear to be two Bergeon options other than the standard tool with the fine fork end that I have already.
    1. 7825 Tweezers, similar to what I’ve seen Rolex St James use.

    2. 6825 Pliers with different tip options. 1.30 mm, 1.10mm and 1.00mm. Which tips are needed to safely remove the Rolex bracelet?

    I also have a couple of Seamaster 300 divers currently on NATO straps but would like to try the bracelet again.

    So which is the best kit to get hold of?
    I know to tape the lugs but want no sweaty moments with scratched lugs.

    Thanks for any advice based on your own experiences.

    Bergeon 6767F is a favourite here, and very cheap.

    I’ve never had an issue with it; tried tweezers once but found it more difficult than one if these. Works for Rolex & Tudor, no idea on the Omega sizing I’m afraid.

    Simple, straight forward and easy to use but make sure you can see what your doing with this or any spring bar removal tool.

    I've used the 6767F with my Seamaster 300 and it worked well.

    Casn`t stress this highly enough, I`m sure most difficulties are down to not being able to see properly. A magnifier is a must.

    I have a 6767F and it works really well when I am trying to remove something like a leather strap.
    With the Rolex bracelets the tweezers as used at Rolex St James seem to be effective but they can be a bit fiddly to use as you are watching both ends as you are getting the forks into the tiny slots. Also the fork ends are tiny and can slip off the spring bars.
    After more research and looking on the Rolex forum, a preferred tool is made by the Nam Hing watch tool company in Hong Kong. It looks to have more control by the way it is held compared to the popular Bergeon tools and you can preset the max gap so there is less watching both ends as you get it located.
    I contacted the company and made a purchase. Hopefully it won’t take too long to get here and I’ll post an update.

    Taping up the lugs is still very important, especially if the “other end” is used to reinsert the spring bars. Personally, I’d use the fine forks for both bracelet removal and replacement.

    The spring bar tool in the video arrived today. Notification of posting on Monday then it turned up here this morning.

    Initial thoughts are very encouraging, easy to hold and operate. Much less fiddly than the tweezers or pliers.
    Ordered direct from Nam Hing along with a spare pair of tips.
    I expected a small amount of import duty but no surcharge when delivered.
