APjumbo 3,032 Posted January 14, 2023 Mine are horotec and work pretty well. I think there are fakes out there so be careful. You don’t want to be using fake screwdrivers on your rep. I think mine came from Italy from eBay. Rubber ball from AliExpress is excellent for opening caseback. silicone tub thing for lubing caseback o rings bausch loupe (4x I think) I have been meaning to find a Wiha screwdriver for bracelets as I have read that it is really good. 1.8mm 260p Keep forgetting to buy one.

FudgyDocker 3,511 Posted January 14, 2023 It's not necessarily just the quality of the tools. It's also how adept you are at using them. You can give a monkey a set of Bergeon screwdrivers, but it doesn't mean that it'll be any good at adjusting bracelets or changing straps! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still use those from the old (not available anymore) kit from this very forum. Probably chinese ones. They do their job too, the most important thing is to properly keep them sharp, see: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zulu44gmt 1,046 Posted January 15, 2023 I have the older version of this one. It works,,, no fretts if I misplace it, and I get to look like a cyborg around the house. https://www.harborfreight.com/head-lamp-magnifier-58788.html?ccdenc=eyJjb2RlIjoiODU2MjI1MTQiLCJza3UiOiI1ODc4OCIsImlzIjoiNi45OTMifQ%3D%3D&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=19551723975&campaignid=19551723975&utm_content=146804296524&adsetid=146804296524&product=58788&store=&gclid=CjwKCAiA5Y6eBhAbEiwA_2ZWIQ81ozuO3PTGsqI60WatSBoJCx4iZM0xzxi2bNwG3yd_Vv0u0KhM6RoCRdQQAvD_BwE Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
