I'm having my guy put a strap on it tomorrow. A black alligator, Maurice Lacroix. I still have all the shipping plastic on the bracelet.

I need to get one. I like that the Esslinger is half of what the Bergeon costs and it looks identical.

It's actually better than Bergeon. It comes with two different sized fork tips, and you don't need to file down the narrow to work with Rolex. It comes highly recommended by me.

Awesome, thanks! Am I correct in assuming it'll work just fine on my Breitling and Omega?

The larger fork works perfectly on my Omegas. I've only ever heard of two slot (haha) sizes - Rolex and everyone else. Sign up for the Esslinger mailing list and they send an immediate $10 or $15 off coupon for your first order. :thumbsup:

I think you can find it on ebay too, but Esslinger was super quick to ship and I needed a couple other watch tools so I didn't cross shop too seriously.
