Hi Jason - echo'ing what Dell & Joey stated, splurge the $25 for the Bergeon 6111 and you won't be disappointed. It's got a small end and large end, pretty much use the small end on my Omega & works like a champ. I have a Bond GMT and have discovered that by changing the straps, feels like an entirely new watch.

PS - amazing too how dirty the watch casing is once you take off the original band for the first time!
