I wished I had seen this earlier 😭. I use a bergen 6767 and end up scratching my watch when trying to put on a rubber b strap. I think I might have also twisted my springbar because I put in one side first before wiggling in the other side, unlike the 7285 you can apply force evenly on both sides without twisting.
Well presented, thank you! I would like to ask you, because you mentioned this is meant for Rolex and not Omega, could this tool also work for any other brand which uses the double-shoulder spring bar? Or, is there something else that makes this specific to Rolex? I have a watch with spring bars that look identical to those of your Rolex. Could this work for that? Also, the generic tool that comes with many aftermarket straps could not be used to remove the spring bar from my watch. Is that supposed to be able to remove spring bars on high-end Swiss watches or does it sound like something I am doing wrong? The fork appears to be too thick and keeps slipping when trying to grip the shoulder of the bar. Would this tweezer-style solve that problem?
The tool should work for spring bars with a double collar but you need to make sure the prongs can fit between the bracket or strap to reach the spring bars in question. The spring bar tool should work but you need to learn how to use it. I have a video on how to remove an Omega bracelet which has some tips that may help you, definitely takes getting used to. Best of luck!
I have these and can concur that for Omega this is poor as it is difficult to grip the spring bars successfully. Reverted back to Omega tool. Feels like the v cut in this tool is way too small for Omega spring bars. Annoying since I purchased for strap swaps on Omega.
Will the (Bergeon 7825 Spring Bar Tweezer Lug Removal Fitting Tool) remove the 2004 Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph 116263 with the two tone Jubilee bracelet?
I should have watched this before using a cheap spring bar remover that scratched the lugs of my airking. I have just ordered that tweezer you used in this video.
Thanks for the great tips. Hmm, how did you get the first side of the bracelet off both watches? I was wondering if the shape of the Bergeon 7825 allows you to remove a spring bar when both sides of the bracelet are installed?
Thanks for sharing, but unfortunately you didn't show the most difficult part - how to access the spring bar when both sides of the bracelet are attached to the watch. When one side is detached, access is very easy.
You are right I didn't, apologies. Didn't think it was too different. I just open the clasp and push the skinny part of the clasp over the lugs so its easy to access the spring bars. Its basically the same thing after after that point.
You may be able to but I never looked into it. Omega springbars are considered the highest quality and didn't want to use any generic springbar. I'm sure an equivalent Rolex spring bar would work just as well but again never looked at sourcing them.
@@DavidPhamChannel noted thanks. I don’t think one has to worry so much about the “highest quality” of spring bar. And as you said, a a Rolex double collar spring bar will be fine too. Just saying that this is way too much stress over a spring bar. Appreciate your video. It should be easier to remove an omega bracelet and at a minimum … a double collar.
This would be great if you showed more and talked less AND if it was accurate. My Rolex does not have the same header links and no holes to easily access the spring bar
Thanks! Took some practice but angling the watch while holding the tweezers still is definitely the way to go.
I have the tweezers, but I don't have any Rolex to practice on!
They are probably good for lots of different brands. What are you using them on?
@@DavidPhamChannel if you get my joke, thank you!

These tweezers definitely have changing Rolex bracelets a lot easier.

@@DavidPhamChannel I will certainly check your other video. I appreciate the advice.

Switch your spring bars to Rolex style bars
And what Do use now for omega? I agree that the 7825 is very difficult to use...is it possible to change the springbars or do you have an other tool?
Will the (Bergeon 7825 Spring Bar Tweezer Lug Removal Fitting Tool) remove the 2004 Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph 116263 with the two tone Jubilee bracelet?
I don't know for sure but i don't see why not, as long as the spring bars have collars to grab on to it should work.
Do you recommend using a normal springbar tool on the omega compared to this tool that pinches both sides at once?
I recommend the Bergeon 6767F for the Omegas.
Can Rolex spring bars be substituted for Omega's
Probably, I've never tried myself but they appear to be similar in thickness.
Great. I need to buy this tool; I've removed the bracelet on my air king and now I can't put it back with a simple bar tool.
The tool will definitely help. Good luck, just go slow.
Do the tips break easy?
No, Bergeon makes solid stuff, be careful they can scratch your lugs if you are not careful.
Do you recommend this for adjust the strap on Rolex too?
Should work if the straps have indents where you can easily access the spring bar.
@@DavidPhamChannel thx you David! how about Omega? work too? thanks again!
@@KiwiMoto72 no probpem. I'd use a spring bar tool with the Omegas

Sorry to hear that, these will work perfect for your watch.
Thanks for the great tips. Hmm, how did you get the first side of the bracelet off both watches? I was wondering if the shape of the Bergeon 7825 allows you to remove a spring bar when both sides of the bracelet are installed?
Yes, correct. With the 7825, you are removing both spring bars at the same time.
I detach the clasp from the center off first, then move onto either side of the lugs.
Do they produce one for the omega?
Not that i know of, its kind of spring bar specific. If you decide to use rolex springs bars on a Omega it will probably work.
What tool do you recommend to put a RubberB band on a Rolex steel watch?
These tweezers should work but if you are looking for a spring bar tool use the Bergeon 6767F.
@davidpham is this for datejust 42
@davidpham is this for datejust 41
Yup DJ41

@@DavidPhamChannel Thanks. Yes, I was able to find another video (Millenary) which demonstrated. Thanks again for the video.
Agreed 100%
What tool would you recommend for the Omega spring bars? I have a typical spring bar tool but it’s still really difficult.
I haven't used other versions of the tweezers so I can't comment on those. For me the standard bergeon tool works best.
This wouldn't work with older rolex watches with lug holes right?
Possibly, as long as they have the same spring bar and the opening is the same size or larger it should work.
Nice tip 👍
Great "how to" video. Thanks!👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can’t you just change the spring bar to a double collar one for the Omega? After market … 🤔
You may be able to but I never looked into it. Omega springbars are considered the highest quality and didn't want to use any generic springbar. I'm sure an equivalent Rolex spring bar would work just as well but again never looked at sourcing them.

You're welcome
Great video 👍🏻 appreciated!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice demo,.thank you
How much is this tool?
If i recall maybe 200
What about Tudor?
I have no idea, never tried it with a Tudor.
It works a treat on Tudors once you have practiced a few times.
Quality of spring bars indicative of the brands x)
You don’t start from beginning. Watch strap is already disconnected.
Its easier to demonstrate the tweezers with one side of the bracelet disconnected.
Watch head? It's THE watch.
haha you're right.
This would be great if you showed more and talked less AND if it was accurate. My Rolex does not have the same header links and no holes to easily access the spring bar
Nice tool, but ridiculously overpriced! There are other cheaper options.
Very true!
Which brands/names in particular are as good and cheaper?
