You think sizing can be done yourself or have an AD do it?

Just buy the right size screwdriver. If you are even remotely coordinated you should have no problem.

A small amount of re-sizing can be done at the clasp.

Well that depends who's doing it. I've seen chewed screws and scratched bracelets :o Not mine thankfully

I've always done it myself. Just bought a lovely swiss made screwdriver set.

I don't even like AD's filling in the warranty book as they seem to f*&k that up as well :roll:

The 'prefect' screwdriver is a Bergeon 180 (1.8mm), but they aren't sold separately anymore so the Bergeon 160 (1.6mm) wors well enough. You can find them all over the web for not much money - just don't try and save $5 by buying a cheap Chinese knock off.
