BergeonBergeon Dial Protecting Plastic Sheets Set of 3 Swiss Made No. 6938

Great value

Much better than using scrap plastic to protect dials when servicing movements.

Pretty much everything from Bergeon is pricey including these dial protectors. With that said they do a great job of protecting the dial when you’re removing hands. They’re also really handy for adjusting the angle of hands you’ve installed if they happen to be dipped to far in one direction or the other. Just slip the protector under the low side of the hand and provide a little upward pressure.

You're paying for the name. Nicely made but too thick for many fine and/or vintage watches. Often, after you get the sheet positioned, there's no space left for your hand removal tool. Watch a couple of YouTube videos about using a baggie over the hands . . . doesn't seem like it would work, but it does. Or make your own using a #11 Xacto knife and a heavy duty sheet protector.

Bergeon is the number one watch tool brand. These little pieces of plastic are a must when you're removing watch hands and don't want to damage the dial. They don't cost much but can and will save you a lot of headache.

These guards are very handy and easy to use to protect watch faces. They are somewhat pricey but they are Swiss - superb quality, well made but you do pay a price premium. As an amateur watchmaker a plastic sandwich bag will certainly do; but these guards are most useful.

These work well to protect the face of your watch from being scratched but very expensive for what they are. Realistically a small piece of scrap paper would probably work just as well.

Great idea to prevent screwups
