Barrel Arbor Holder vs. Pin Vice

I find the Bergeon's arbor holder to be the most convenient.

Perhaps the most stupid question ever asked on WRT, but why does one need such an arbor holder ?

Is this one of those tools I never knew I couldn't live without?

 There are lots of tools that we dont really need. Some just work better than others. I have a draw full of tools i dont use anymore because i found upgrades to them.

Because you simply can't live without it. I even sleep with mine. Then of course the brand name, Bergeon, which makes you feel like you own a genuine Rolex.

Absolutely!!! Don't waste another second. Order one, or even a few different sizes, NOW!

After reading this thread I started using my horotec pin vices this week with the round tooth insert, see earlier posts. I must admit that they make a big difference, no more fighting with tweezers to get the arbor in or out of the mainspring coil, and then pinging it across the room. It even makes it easier lubricating the little thing.

Who knew?!?

I'll take a back seat too - have a cup of tea and put it on my Bergeon coaster (only £159)

Just got to have one of those! Where can I order it? I think I'll have two while I'm at it.

Correct, it's just like WAS (watch acquisition syndrome) where you need "just one" more mechanical watch and your heart will be at peace... but then you see something else, and then you have this difficult issue of how do you keep all of the mechanical's running at one time because you can't wear them fast enough in rotation to keep them all running without spending more money on a winder.

Or at least makes your wallet feel like you own a genuine Rolex

Maybe stir the tea with a Bergeon piece of pegwood... it will taste so much better with Bergeon pegwood than generic pegwood.
