Recommended screwdriver for BLRO jubilee bracelet
What screwdriver are you guys using to adjust the bracelet on the 126710blro? I read that the jubilee screws are around 1.3mm but wanted to confirm and see which tool you use to remove/add links? Thanks in advance.

Take it to a certified Rolex watchmaker or your AD. They have the precise tools That’s what I do.

A good quality non tapered screwdriver
A heater to undo the locktite The Rolex stuff is available but hard to get hold of its the 1.6mm sea dweller 2100 one you want that came with the watch and is available for purchase if you have the watch otherwise Thease are good http://www.watch-tool.de/html/rlx_special.php?id=0905hh Even though it's saith to be 1.6 the actual size is slightly larger and a wrong size will strip the screw |

Does a SD 16600 toolkit screwdriver work?

As I understand it these won’t work since the jubilee screws are 1.3mm and the oyster screws are 1.6mm. |

Check the Esslinger website they sell one that has a reversible tip with 1.7mm for oyster on one side and 1.3mm for Jubilee on the other.

I believe the correct size 1.4mm but the 1.3mm from Esslinger Horofix will work 100%.

I purchased a green Horofix screwdriver from Esslinger marketed for use on Rolex bracelets. The 1.7mm hollow ground blade is a perfect fit on the Oyster screws. I believe it was for Jubilee as well, so maybe the reverse side has a smaller blade?
I just bought it at this link, but it's gone... https://www.esslinger.com/horofix-sc...t-link-screws/ |

I have purchased the same as members above the Green horofix 1.7/1.3mm Rolex screwdriver (looks like the 2100) and the one with the Rolex 1.7mm tip. Amazing screwdrivers and I would recommend NOT to purchase the Bergeon screwdrivers (pointed tip or hollow ground model 7965/or 7965-MFP) the tips are too fragile and a fellow member and myself broke the tips even with heating up the loctite, as they are too thin. These are the same ones that Rolex supplies within the Rolex service box ADs have to adjust bracelets.
**Both Horofix drivers appear to be removed from the Esslinger website **
