This means one tool covers both designs – classic lugs with open spring bar guides as well as modern cases with side holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"180:1-180:223;10434-10656\"\u003eANEX manufactures the tool in Tsubame-Sanjo with a cleanly ground fork – the point where cheap strap changers fail: a burred or too thick fork slips off the spring bar shoulder and leaves scratches on the lug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"182:1-182:62;10658-10719\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat distinguishes this tool from its European counterparts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"184:1-184:326;10721-11046\"\u003eThe European standard is the Bergeon 6767 – a good tool at a proud price. The ANEX No.88-W offers the same dual function with Japanese manufacturing quality at half the price. The alternative from Far East strap changing sets (under €10) saves exactly where it counts: on fork grinding and precision fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"186:1-188:23;11048-11139\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double-sided: Spring bar fork and push pin Reference: ANEX No.88-W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"190:1-191:27;11141-11180\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New, original packaging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"193:1-194:125;11182-11314\"\u003eNote Watches can be damaged by improper use of tools.
