Bracelet sizing

Sorry for posting the same type of question but I needed some extra help. Will I need any other tools to adjust a Sea Dweller 16600 bracelet outside of the tool that comes with it? Do I need a bracelet holder? I was told just to be careful and that it would be much easier than strap removals. Any other tips? Thanks guys for all your help!

No bracelet holder required, buddy.

Just cover the screwhead with a small piece of cello tape. Then insert the screwdriver through the cellotape and make sure it sits firmly inside the head of the screw.

With a downward force (place index finger on top of screwdriver), turn counter clockwise and the screw should start to turn.

The cello tape is so you don't scratch the surrounding link or screwhead.

That's it - JJ
