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.
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.
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 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.
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?
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.
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?
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!
Great "how to" video. Thanks!👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!

These tweezers definitely have changing Rolex bracelets a lot easier.
Nice demo,.thank you
Nice tip 👍

Switch your spring bars to Rolex style bars
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.
Sorry to hear that, these will work perfect for your watch.
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.

@@DavidPhamChannel Thanks. Yes, I was able to find another video (Millenary) which demonstrated. Thanks again for the video.
Agreed 100%
Great video 👍🏻 appreciated!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you
You're welcome
Do the tips break easy?
No, Bergeon makes solid stuff, be careful they can scratch your lugs if you are not careful.
Quality of spring bars indicative of the brands x)
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Can Rolex spring bars be substituted for Omega's
Probably, I've never tried myself but they appear to be similar in thickness.
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
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.
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.
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.
How much is this tool?
If i recall maybe 200
@davidpham is this for datejust 42
@davidpham is this for datejust 41
Yup DJ41
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.
Watch head? It's THE watch.
haha you're right.
You don’t start from beginning. Watch strap is already disconnected.
Its easier to demonstrate the tweezers with one side of the bracelet disconnected.
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!
