Quality stuff comes at a certain price.

Unless you really trust the online store, better buy from eBay.
A little more protection.

i agree that quality stuff comes with certain price.

check out my bergeon tool below



noticed the left hand side? it was originally a black color pin removal. however, it is easily broken due to its construction. i have since got it grind down so that i can continue to use it.

personally i would not recommend this model for pin removal for those rolex model with lug holes.

there is another model which is 6767, the construction is slightly better. the tip is slightly sturdy compared to the 3153 model.

but have to use with care as well.

however, fret not that as you can have buy the replacement part.

why not check out if the packaging is the same as what you can see outside.

may try to go to passion watch @ funan centre to see this tool set, see if the color code for screw driver size and packaging are the same.

Agree...u get wat u pay.

I bought some hp stuff and cam batteries from them before.. quality ok so far.

Just wanted to see if any bro/sis out there who have tried their stuff...

Given the low cost, I don't mind ordering to try it out. if it's good, I can post a mini review

thanks for the tip..where did u get yours from? I'm using it for leather straps...so perhaps will be less taxing on the tool..hopefully

Good idea...if they're the same, also can find out what margins the shops are earning, lol

Generally if the quality is decent I don't mind getting online, it's more convenient shopping online, most watch shops are in town area...no need to worry about parking, traffic jam etc...

I think the A*F on deal extreme is chiong one...seen those in sungei road also

Well it does serve it's purpose I guess but how long it lasts is one, and definitely not from A*F

most important is that the tool does not give way when user is using on watch. cause consequences can be undesirable.

anyone is free to choose which type of tools to buy. i just want to raise the point that though the packaging is similar, the product may not be the same and hence potential buyer(s) thinks that is getting the original product @ a fraction of the cost.

Guess what...I bought this watch tool kit from mustafa at $16..many tools including spring bar tool, screw drivers, case opener, hammer etc. Changed a few straps for fun just now
