Bergeon 7825 Spring Bar Tweezer - HT7825

Product Information

I have both the 6825 and 7825. A bit of a love/hate relationship. Sometimes I think they are easy to use, other times they seem more difficult to use than they should! These two are very competitively priced and not sure which to get between them... any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

I went for the one with the finer forks. I have used the FF on a 16570 Explorer II, but the tips were still too wide to use on a 16200 DateJust on Jubilee bracelet. I bought a Horofix Spring Bar Tweezer from Esslinger for my C65 bracelet: https://www.esslinger.com/horofix-spring-bar-tweezers/ I have been watching this topic with interest as the shared experiences are very helpful, thank you. Perfect tool for removal of Rolex bracelets without scratches. Not suitable for my Omegas though, as the spring bar design is different. Perfect tool for removal of Rolex bracelets without scratches. Not suitable for my Omegas though, as the spring bar design is different.

You can use the tool to remove the spring bars without actually having to remove the clasp of the bracelet. I have the N° : 6767-F and i would like to know if it is ok before i go to work on my 3861 speedmaster Most spring bar tools are ” pen-shaped”, with which you remove one side of the spring bar at a time. The 7825 from Bergeon is a bit different, however, as it is made as a tweezer with which you tweeze both sides of the spring bar simultaneously. The benefit of this is that you can more easily grip both sides of the spring bar and carefully ”lift” out the spring bar, which ultimately prevents scratches on the lugs of the watch. I have the tools you mentioned above - and a Rolex Sea-Dweller 116600 - in addition to my Omegas. The 7825 works superbly on the Rolex design because the spring bars for Rolex are double-flanged. This means there is a second flange on each end, so the 7825 has a very secure groove into which it fits to compress and expand a spring bar during installation and removal. The diameter of the spring bar is also slightly different from the omega spring bars. Bergeon is perhaps the best watch tool manufacturer in the world. It is known around the globe and manufactures tools for the watchmakers of some of the most prestigious watch brands in the world. With that in mind, Bergeon’s tools are among the best in the world.

I have finally managed to source a bracelet for my Mk2 Trident so it's time to seriously update my bracelet toolkit. Thanks for that, another option at a better price than Bergeon, though it looks like it could not handle a Seiko fat style (tips are too narrow). A pity they don't also make a 1.3mm size so that one could interchange with the 1mm. Maybe a future? I would need to pay EU VAT etc on import from Esslinger so it is not a low cost option, but at least the tips are fair price, unlike Bergeon! The original blades made with softer metal than the stainless steel blades. Some prefer to used the original blades with their Stainless Steel Screwdrivers when working with older watches that do not have stainless steel screw. I have a myriad of springbar tools. Burgeon seems to be the most solid. One I have has a flat "spade" side for straps. Works really well. A wonderful tool that sure looks good. Allows the pivots to be straightened without breaking due to a control device as well as a screw fitted with a stop. 41 Jewelled holes diam. 0.07 - 0.15 mm. Progression 0.025 mm. Bergeon reference #30350-D-02.Most watches use spring bars to keep the bracelet or strap in place and to remove the spring bars, you need a good tool. But with that said, not all spring bar tools are created equal. I see what you mean about the 7825 being designed specifically for Rolex. I looked deeper and the tips are just 1mm, while the FFs for the 6825 specify 1.1. That 16200 must have been a nightmare!
