Two things, practice lots and be careful not to slip. Although a hand press does make things a lot easier.

I wondered if you had any tips for putting the hands back on the watch? I'm starting to get better at removing them (I've been using a presto as well), but I find it can be quite tricky to put them back, and get very nervous about marking the dial.

Second, their tools are hit or miss. Many of the tools they distribute are fantastic, like the pair of hand levers I use all the time, others are pretty poor. They are constantly changing suppliers and their quality is up and down. You sometimes get lucky, sometimes you don't. One thing is for sure they offer a wider supply of watchmaking tools than anybody else I am aware of. I think you'll find lots of watchmakers who agree with me.</p> First, Bergeon doesn’t make tools, they distribute them. Second, their tools are hit or miss.
