Guys,

Can you guys recommend a watch tool kit so I can do my own bracelet sizing and bracelet removal. Does not have to be high end, just something that works. Thanks

Keith

You really just need two tools to remove and size a bracelet. For resizing the bracelet you'll need a quality precision blade screwdriver. Make certain you get one that fits the slot in the screws precisely to avoid marring the surface. For removal and replacement of the springbar holding the bracelet/strap on you'll want a Bergeon Spring Bar Tool 6767-F. This is readily available through online internet sources.
Other than that that's about it. Some people use Locktite to be sure the bracelet screws don't come loose but if you do be certain you don't use the one that doesn't allow re-removal of the screw.

Clear nail varnish also works great!

I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole.

Cheap Chinese crap that is constantly being listed on eBay.

The screwdrivers won't hold up and when they fail they will damage the screw heads.

The 6767F is less than $20 and if you are only doing bracelet work then you only need one size screwdrivew I use a Bergeon 160 as my kit goes from 160 to 200, but I think that 180 would be a perfect fit.
