1.7mm (I believe) screwdriver and a very small paper clip or the end of a holes case spring bar tool. Also, helpful would be a jeweler head loupe and a pair of tweezers.

The screws on the ends of the links aren't actually screws; they're just little tiny caps to secure a pin that actually connects the links. I mean tiny. They're a pain in the butt, so be prepared. |

I took my Seamaster into my local boutique about 2 years & they removed a link free of charge as a complimentary service (watch was 26 years/ not bought from them)
Just incase saved you a job |

1.6mm. Get something quality--Bergeon or Horotec. A regular screwdriver works but a T-blade screwdriver is ideal.
