Hi Gents,

Would you please recommend a proper screwdriver to use for removing/adding links on modern Rolexes. And, which version of Loctite is recommended? Thank you so much as always.

This information may be a bit too late for ''tomchicago'' but after losing quite a bit of weight by dieting over the past year, I found it necessary to remove two links from my Rolex Datejust. I found the Craftsman Jewelers Screwdriver set sold by Sears was the ideal tool to remove these links. It was only around 10.00-12.00 dollars for the set, works perfectly on Rolex links, and it's also extremely handy for fixing eye glasses etc.

ask your ad if they will order the rolex 2100 screwdriver for you. they cost about £12. I think.

Purchased this through my AD. It has a nice hollow ground blade that fits perfectly in Oyster bracelet screws. Plus a little Loctite 222 the U.S. Equivalent to 221 purchased through Grainger.

Cc1966 · 24 June 2014, 07:45 PM

Hollow ground 1.60mm SD and #221 or #222 Loctite and you are golden.

My AD told me several days ago that the Rolex 2100 screwdriver is discontinued and is no longer available.

Suboc · 3 July 2014, 02:11 AM

You might want to check another AD.

I use a 1.6mm Panerai style screwdriver, it's a perfect fit. No Loctite BTW.

Strongly suggest you re-think that.

There's a lot riding on those little screws; why not give them the best possible chance to not fail...

huley bear · 13 July 2014, 08:37 AM

Do not loctite and I use all burgeon drivers.

Rolex recommends using Loctite.
