What size screwdriver to work on new GMT II bracelet?
I expect my 116713 this week. I don't have a watchmaker nearby and I was thinking of adjusting the band myself. What size are the screws on the links? Any reason if I mask the bracelet with tape that I can't remove/move links?

Mike is spot on, the SD tool is the correct size.
One mistake is to use a screwdriver that is too small. The SD tip looked too big (at about 1mm) when I first saw it but is the correct size. A new bracelet will probably have some white locking compound on the threads so be gentle but 'firm' when you are unscrewing and you wil be ok.

Here's a picture of the ideal screwdriver. Unfortunately, it comes only with the Sea-Dweller Rolex, but I think it can also be got off ebay. Great tool for the sports line-up only though. The head is too big for the DJ bracelets....or even the lady Rollies. JJ ![]()

![]() I have three of those SD Tool Sets around now. Dunno why I asked for one, but my AD just wouldn't give me MORE than 10 % off my Sub Date, and I for my part just wanted more, so I came up with the idea to get an SD Tool Set on top of the deal ![]()
