Bergeon 7825 Spring Bar Tweezer - HT7825

Product Information

The Horotec tweezers are a great tweeter option - the tips of those are identical (or very close to) the 6767F tips.

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. I have finally managed to source a bracelet for my Mk2 Trident so it's time to seriously update my bracelet toolkit. Best for what you are looking for is probably Bergeon tips for the 6825 clone you have. I have found that when I used the 6825 with CW bracelets it was easy. I have managed to use them without separating the bracelet, but quite difficult. A tool from Bergeon is the spring bar tool 7825, which is the tool we are going to look closer at in this article. I too use double shoulder spring bars or Swiss type from Cousins which give the same ease of access, see this thread: viewtopic.php?f=53&t=50289 if you have not already.

Works perfect. Fits nicely and easy to work. Takes out a lot frustration when fitting the bracelet to the watch head.I have been watching this topic with interest as the shared experiences are very helpful, thank you.

The tool itself is quite utility- there's not much to make a hash of, but the critical piece is the quality of the tips. I change out the cheap tips for Bergeon ones which gives you the utility of the tool but with high tool-strength quality tips that are fine enough to get at most spring bars but strong enough to not deform or break and all at a good price The tips that come with the cheap pliers tend to be made of soap/cheese/jelly .Oh: there's a really nice read on hairsprings, that I have always thought highly of; "Practical Balance and Hair-spring Work", Walter J Kleinlein, 1925. As I recall, he was at Waltham's factory in Massachusetts, and pretty-much looked upon as a Final Authority (!) in such matters. I met one of his pupils, Andy Taber ( RIP ), who operated a nice shop in Bangor, Maine. Andy attended Waltham's School after he Served in the USA Army in WWll, and mentioned that Walter would 'pass' a piece of his student's work, when it was...CORRECT. PERIOD. there must be, on this forum, people who have speedmaster, want to change their bracelets themselves & use the right tool. Similar to the OP, I have the Bergeon 6767 tool with the fine 1.2mm tip and the wider 3mm tip, and whilst it has worked fine with all watches in my small collection, I do fancy trying the pliers/tweezers for easier changes and less risk of scratching the case lugs during the process. I will say that it’s worth it when really you do need it... it can really keep the frustration levels down. But for everything else, the 6767 is much easier to use. Those tweezers are the best. You should tape the lugs regardless of the tool you use. I use painters tape.

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 both the Bergeon 6767 and the Bergeon 6825. To be honest I use the 6767 possibly 99% of the time, but there is always the odd occasion where the 6825 comes into its own. Whether it’s worth it or not is entirely another matter.Perfect tool for removal of Rolex bracelets without scratches. Not suitable for my Omegas though, as the spring bar design is different.
