Watch service tools

[ddom]

Hi,

I’d like some basic tools for strap/bracelet removal. Amazon has a load of various ‘service’ kits but I’m not sure of quality.

What have you guys purchased, screwdrivers and something to hold the case etc that you can recommend?

Thanks in advance.

Try cousins.co.uk

They sell to trade and public. They’re stuff is better than your average eBay or Amazon kit.

Cousins are good and very quick also one of the cheapest options, but if you want direct help or advice I would give the guys at HSWalsh a call always helpful

Bergeon branded tools have been good for me, especially things like spring bar tools.

I did bought this small combo on Amazon for like 10 €, it has served me well so far.

Went for it with what I had …

Lockwire/solder good for testing the links needed. …



Spot on. Tested my eyesight as the screws are tiny!

Also need a few tools to assist in replacing batteries for a few watches me + the Mrs have - nothing special (at least in terms of what gets talked about here)

A) Are all backs with no visible securing lever/pop off

B) Is something like the above all I need or would you push me to something else, don't mind spending the right amount for what I need but also don't want tools I'll probably have no use for as it just seems a waste!

Thanks
