45mm Radiomirs use a 1.4mm screwdriver, you should have got one with the watch?

If you haven't got one then they're easily found, ebay or paneristi if you want to buy online, ADs and watch shops if you want to buy local, get a decent one though, something that'll fit well like an OEM or a Suissetek.

I bought a Craftsman at Sears for only $2.99.

I have heard that the boutiques will sometimes send you one - no charge...

Even if they did.. I would be inclined to take Duc-904's idea and use a "known" quality 1.4mm Screwdriver like Craftsman. Just be careful - Tape your lugs for extra insurance...

Also, You Tube has a couple of short clips (that I thought were good) for changing straps. Take a look...

Good luck and enjoy that incredible watch...

Thanks everyone. I'm glad I asked the question before doing the strap change for the first time.

The watch does not appear to have had the screwdriver when originally purchased at the AD. There's nothing to indicate this on the watch pillow inside the box.

Cheers!
