Hi all,

Could some please provide a link to the correct screwdriver for the Rolex above, UK site if possible. I'm unsure of the hollow point curvature meanings. Also are the screws threadlocked in from new?

Thanks in advance.

 

Here is a chart with different bracelet and screwdriver sizes. The oyster calls for a 1.6mm. Usually, the old fashioned SeaDweller screwdriver works wonders. And yes, they are threadlocked.. Any watchmaker can help you out with this as well, if this is your one and only use for it..
.

 

Try heating the link gently with a hairdryer to loosen the thread lock. I found that helped.

 

Thanks for the advice, I can't find the Rolex screwdriver at a sensible price anywhere. I was looking at the Horotec 1.6mm ones but was unsure which blade to go for.

 

I have not heard good things about Horotec.
Bergeon is highly recommended, which you can pick up from ofrei.

Thanks

 

Holy Cow: a screwdriver sharpener?!? I thought I'd seen it all...

 

I'm really just looking for a link/website to buy a screwdriver which will do it without having to buy sharpeners as well....must be someone who makes one with the correct blade...

 

I bought a 1.6mm off of the evil auction site for about $17.00 and had it in a couple of days. Can't remember the brand right now but it was one of the highly recommended brands mentioned here often. It even came with a few extra blades.

 

Yep found an original Rolex one on there this afternoon at a decent price, might use it then resell

 

In addition to this, if this method fails as it did with me, I used small players to turn the screw driver, this gives you more power to turn the screw driver. Just be careful and hold firmly down not to skip and scratch the bracelet. It worked great for me.

 

On my Omegas I just used a disposable lighter on each screw for a few seconds. Made unscrewing them easy.

 

Thanks to all.
