One of choices I made when I was younger was to treat watches similarly to how I treat clothing and shoes.
And what I mean by that is that in my life, wearing the same shoes, wearing the same jacket, wearing the same hat, wearing the same belt, wearing the same scarf and wearing the same watch day after day is not going to happen.
As I got older, I started to get into watches and being particular on what I wear, what kind of band is worn to match my clothes and trying to maintain them the best I can.
And as I began to accumulate watches, I realized that I was spending money to have a watch band adjusted and realized I could do this on my own.
If you are planning to wear a watch with a steel band that requires link removal, my advice is to buy watch tools. Removing links or changing a band is fairly easy, but you need to have the right tools.
And the Vastar 177 piece watch repair tool kit is rather awesome!
- For link removal, all you need is a tool box with a plastic hammer, pin punches.
- For removing the case back for those who have watches that need batteries, all you need is a case knife and a case wrench and that’s it.
- Want to remove a band, then all you need is a spring bar tool set.
- For G-Shock removals or watches that require a battery removal and it’s snug in a tiny space, that is where having a watch tweezer becomes very useful.
- And then there are watches that have tiny screws and so you want a kit that accommodates those small screws.
Now many may wonder, why are there 177 pieces when most watch tool kits only come with under a dozen?
Well, one of the things that watch enthusiasts tend to purchase separately from a tool kit is the spring bars. Some spring bars snap, some get lost and in the case of this set, you get 108 spring bars (sizes 8-25 mm, 6 pieces for each size), you get 20 watch band link cotter pins, 18 watch case opener spare pins, six watch band link remover square pins and so much more!
This is no doubt an ultimate set worth investing in!
And if you are an owner of multiple watches, this is probably the best set that I’ve come across.
The Vastar 177 PCS Watch Repair Tool Kit is highly recommended!
