| Post subject: | Tools for Bracelet Resizing |
hi guys. My first post here, from New Zealand. i've just bought my second Breitling, a Chronomat. I am thinking about to resize the bracelet myself. Since my watch collection is growing, it makes sense to me to DIY rather than getting rip off by the local jeweller/AD (at $20-25 a pop). Plus it is more fun, just like fixing your own car. I currently own a Colt GMT, a Chronomat, an Oris and a Longine. I have been swapping between the bracelet and Nato, by taking out the spring bars with a Bergeon fork. I am quite comfortable doing that. I also own a bracelet pin remover. (generic brand) What additional tools do I need? I am planning to purchase a set of Bergeon screwdriver. Do I need a vice as well? Thanks |

You don't need a vice. All that you need (ideally) for Breitling is a Bergeon 180 (1.8mm) screwdriver, but as those are tough to come by a 160 / 1.6mm works fine. No idea on the other brand sizes. Welcome to BreitlingSource. |
