eBay Rolex Screwdriver (Official Geneva?) from Hong Kong Mini Review

So when I bought my Sub, the AD sized the bracelet for me and didn't replace the Loctite on the screws. Recently a friend got a new watch and needed the size adjusted and had to go to an AD to do it, since I didn't have a screwdriver that I could guarantee wouldn't mar the screw heads. Anyway, I figured it was time to invest in one.

The official Rolex 2100 tool seems very difficult to come by these days, and if I did see one for sale the price was pretty ridiculous. This was probably the most helpful thread on screwdrivers:

The "gold one" they talk about and like seems to be the Official Geneva screwdriver from watch-tool.de. However, the website wasn't letting me order it... I guess they don't ship to the USA.

Searching eBay for "Rolex 2100" yields an identical looking screwdriver that ships from Hong Kong sold by watchmehk. I decided for $77 I'd take a chance and see how it worked out. Well the screwdriver was delivered in just over a week and the quality seems very good. Despite the green color, it has the same exact markings as the Official Geneva one, so I'm guessing it is the same.

While I have nothing to compare it to, it does seem to fit the oyster bracelet screws just about perfectly, and the wide barrel gives a decent amount of torque. So I'm hoping this is helpful to anyone looking for a good Rolex hollow ground screwdriver.

Here are some pics I grabbed with my phone:
