The small one. :-)

I have a couple sets of precision screwdrivers, and with the judicious application of a hair dryer first, close enough has been good enough. That's with gold links and screws. With steel I'd be even less concerned.

I have a 26331 ROC, the 1.6mm hollow ground screwdriver I use w/ my Rolex gmt2c works great to add/remove links.

I just double-checked since Google suggests 1.4mm or 1.6mm might be right, my 1.6mm hollow from horotec fits perfect. My screwheads are in perfect shape, so even though I don't know if you need/want a hollow ground tip, it doesn't seem to hurt.

No idea if AP uses loctite, but I proactively used a heat gun on the steel bracelet before I tried the screws since I figured wouldn't hurt.

No idea if the above helps or applies to your model, good luck!

Thanks guys. I always use a hairdryer. Learned that trick awhile back. Everytime my wife has to lecture me about how expensive her hairdryer is and not to ruin it lol

I have 1.4 and 1.6. Hoping one of those works.

I had to use one just a tiny bit smaller than the one I use on my Day-Dates. The 15202 bracelet is very thin.
