Can anyone suggest a good quality inexpensive spring bar pliers?

Preferably one you actually use.

Thanks

These were the ones I bought a few months ago and they work for me.

I opted for package B to get all the bit options included.

It's certainly not the cheapest pliers you'll find on Ali Express but I got them as they do seem good quality with hardened bits. I suspect the $10 pliers' bits would just break.

Hi team. I'm after a Casio DW5600 Black Case. I plan on modding it. I'm in Australia. Best I can find is Creation Watches for $$110AUD - 5% with free shipping to Australia.

Anyone seen better or even a decent second hand option?

Cheers!

I bought these from Amazon two years ago for under $30 and they have treated me very well.

Anyone have a line on an inexpensive watch with a rotating 12 hour bezel? Given how useful a 12 hour bezel is I’m amazed they aren’t more common. Quartz is fine, but an automatic would be OK too.

The Q Reissue Timex' can often be found at or below $100, and most of them have 12 hour bezels.

Just saw this on Amazon.
Chinese brand, but decent amount of reviews.

“8215 Automatic Movement, suitable for all kinds of parties.”

Thanks for the suggestions. On a related note, I wonder if anyone sells replacement bezels for Invictas? I have an Invicta auto diver I bought on sale and could replace the bezel cheaper than buying a new watch. I might actually wear it with a 12 hour bezel.
