I have it sized properly but I am trying to move the last full size link from the 6:00 side to the 12:00 side to balance it better on my wrist. The watch always wants to roll towards 12:00 and drives me nuts! My issue is trying to remove the screw from the half link because both sides spin and even if I put a screwdriver on both sides, it does not want to break free. I have 4 links on the 6:00 side and 5 on the 12:00 side now and want it to try 3 and 6 respectively. http://www.breitlingsource.com/articles_bias.shtml |

You have to break the 'loctite' seal. Try tightening slightly first, that sometimes works. |

ok, so the screw does break free. I guess I need another descent srewdriver as one of mine is a p.o.s. and I'm scared of scraching the bracelet if it slips. thanks for deleting the other post |

thanks Roff! I got two of the screwdriver's today and they came right out. Having the right tools really helps. |

Just for future reference if you come across extremely tight bracelet screws, heating it for a while with a hair-dryer can help as it serves to melt the thread-clock a little. Just be careful you don't burn yourself as the metal can get pretty hot. A few of the Doxa guys do that as Doxa seem to practically weld their screws in. |
