What do you gentleman use for micro adjustment?

I googled this and tried the tooth pick method, but I just end up breaking tooth picks. Until now a push pin has been the most effective, but I don't want to damage the "thread" on the pin.

Any tips would be appreciated.

A spring bar tool.

A very fine flat tip screwdriver (the kind to fix glass) should work fine in a pinch. If you notch the end with a file, even better. Else get proper tool.

A paper clip

This one works great for bracelet changes and micro adjustments too. I use it all the time.

I agree with Matt and have that. Or you can use the 6767 or similar and just do one side at a time.

If you don't have either tool, just stop in your local AD. My guess is they would do it for free.

Get a Bergeon 6767f, they're only $25 on Amazon. The fine tip doesn't quite fit the Rolex slot, but it works at a slight angle.

No easy link?

Thanks for all the tips

I have the spring bar tool that came with my speedmaster as well as a Tudor spring bar tool, but like Cryten said it is quite a small opening. Hence using this:

@Etschell This is just to fine tune the everyday fit. I find as we are going into winter my comfortable summer fit is a bit too loose. I also fund the case edge and crown guards to be rather uncomfortable if the watch slides around on my wrist.
