Hey,

Needed to make an adjustment on my 311.30.42.30.01.006 bracelet however, really struggling to find the right bit. Am.i right in saying it's 2mm?

Trying to find something on eBay however, can't seem to find a small 2mm screwdriver - anyone got any pics?

Will something like this do? Or do they need to be the smaller sizes (but as stated struggling to find a small 2mm screwdriver)

Try the Wiha 96018 on Amazon. 1.8mm works perfectly

I am also a big fan of WIha, many of my tools are theirs when they aren't Milwaukee Tool.

But! It needs to be fatter. The tool set I bought from Amazon is currently not available, so maybe @Archer has a suggestion?

My own experience says you best have a heat gun because those screws have thread-locker on them and heat helps you to get those loose.

I couldn't undo the screws on mine but I managed to do it by putting the bracelet into a bowl of boiling water for a few minutes.

I second the Wiha 96018. I just added a half link and the screwdriver worked perfectly. I took the first screw off and it remained nicely wedged by the blade. Wow, I thought I could rattle the pin out and just put the attached screw right back. Wrong, the pin was snug. Of course after taking the other side off one of the screws flew off and it took almost 20 minutes to find it. LOL
I have no idea how a watchmaker keeps track of the parts without using a box envlosure.
