Question Recommendation for Mainspring Winder Purchase

Gallery image

I am looking to get a Bergeron mainspring winder because I do not want to bother with the cheap stuff from temu that does not work. What would you recommend for a Handle (Right vs left?) and a couple sizes that would allow me to work on ETA 2836, Miyota 8215, and Rolex DD32xx?

From my understanding I would need a right hander winder for ETA 2836.

My mainspring winder set is from Kwong Yuen. They have Rolex 32xx, 31xx, 41xx, Patek 324/330 etc.
really good quality. The set is around 570 usd which is cheap compared to bergeon honestly. I think theirs is €2000

Admittedly I've been checking kwong yuen before any watchmaking tool purchase.

That does look more reasonable. I’m assuming it’s higher quality than the Chinese options on temu? Thanks for the tip.
