Understanding Watch Tools, Tweezers and Watch Tool Kits

Once you’ve made the important decision of which Everest strap to buy, you may face the dilemma of being unsure on how to take off the original bracelet and install the new strap onto your watch. Let’s be real, it can be overwhelming to think about taking the original strap off of your very expensive watch that you worked so hard to get. One option is to take it to your Rolex AD and have them install the strap for you, but if you would rather install the strap yourself, Everest offers three amazing tool kit options to help make this process possible. These three tool kit options help to meet the wants and needs of each and every watch enthusiast out there! 

Travel Tool Kit (offered for Oyster Bracelets & Jubilee/Tudor Bracelets)

Our Travel Tool Kit is a great option for our budget minded customers or for those who travel often using carry on items. This kit includes a 1.66 screwdriver bit (for watches on Oyster bracelets) or a 1.44 screwdriver bit (for watches on Jubilee bracelets or Tudor models) and a travel sized spring bar tool. The screwdriver makes it possible to take off or add links and to take off the original Rolex clasp and put it onto Everest's deployant strap. On the other hand, the spring bar tool helps to assist the spring bars out of the lug holes and off of the watch’s case. These two tools make it so that the installation process is easy and quick! 

Premier Tool Kit (offered for Oyster Bracelets & Jubilee/Tudor Bracelets)

The Premier Tool Kit is a more versatile option for those who like to have the ability to do a bit more with their tool kit. Just like the Travel Tool Kit, it comes with a 1.66 screwdriver bit (for watches on Oyster bracelets) or a 1.44 screwdriver bit (for watches on Jubilee bracelets or Tudor models). However, the big difference between the Premier Tool Kit and the Travel, is the spring bar tool. It has an interchangeable and replaceable spring bar head, which includes a reversible tip for vintage style spring bars and a modern spring bar removal fork tip. This spring bar tool is also larger in size, which makes the installation process even easier! This tool kit is in the mid price range, and is also good for budget minded individuals who still want a high quality product. 

Tweezer Tool Kit (offered for Oyster Bracelets & Jubilee/Tudor Bracelets)

Our best and most popular tool kit option is our Tweezer Tool Kit! This is the ultimate tool kit for watch lovers. This tool kit also comes with a 1.66 screwdriver bit (for watches on Oyster bracelets) or a 1.44 screwdriver bit (for watches on Jubilee bracelets or Tudor models) with the larger sized spring bar tool that is in the Premier Tool Kit. The stand out feature of this tool kit is the set of tweezers that are included. The tweezer tool is unlike any other watch tool we offer because it has very fine forked tips that reach into as small as 1mm openings. This tool kit is a little on the pricier end because of the three amazing tools included. It is great for customers who enjoy switching out their bands often. Our customers absolutely love this tool kit because it makes the installation process effortless, very quick, and extremely safe.
