In Response To: Try first-quality spring bar tool FB-504 *LINK* ()


I can only agree with Ishrar, but will add the following comments.

When you buy the tool, order a few spare ends.

I use the parts marked 6111D ( on the Ofrei page ). The pin end is used for removing springbars, etc from braceletes. The small fork is used for spring bars at the "watch head" end of the Strap / Bracelet.

As for uses for the "other" end of the tool, I have found 2.

1 is to push stubborn leather straps out of the way ( again at the watch head end of a strap. ) immediatley before using the fine fork on the spring bar.

The other is to remove the crown on some older Omega models. See this webpage => Tool 107 etc. A word af caution here though. There are relatively few Omega models that have this type of crown. Find out if the watch DOES have this type of crown BEFORE you try to pry the crown off on this way, otherwise, something will break !

I hope this helps

Steve
