I have the Horotec ones (similar to the OP ones), it's mostly handy even though you have to be aware that they dont necessarily fit all spring bars (mine doesn't really fit into my P39 bars, for instance).
What I also realized, and I guess that's what you pay for when buying the expensive Bergeon ones, is the stability they offer in comparison to the regular ones, by controlling the 'spring' effect until you're right in there ready to press. It can be fiddly, depending on the spring bar tension and the space available, to stabilise the regular tweezers before you exert pressure against the pins. The Bergeon construction appears to remedy that.
It's all about the little details. It often is. And that's partially what you pay for.
My wife gifted me the GS SBGE253 I had my eye on right before we got married, and right before I was gonna pull the trigger on it. And right on time for me to wear it on the Day.
Id flip it and wear that watch caseback out. With the kind of money it takes to get one I wouldnt even be surprised of one could ask Patek to set it up that way.
Who cares what time it is when the mvt looks like that? That's why your phone i for.
Yep that's why I said 'revision', as the current one only fits 42mm models (perhaps 41, too?) and I heard a while back that a v.2 was in dvt. But that takes time I guess.
All I know is that, given CW direction in their catalog in the past 18 months, any in house calibre WILL have to fit most of their current sub 40mm offering, the way Tudor does it, for instance.
SW200-1. Again and again. At that price point it is starting to be confusing to me.
Long time CW client, but not spending a dime more until theres a revision of their SH21 in some of their smaller offering.
