I have a newish Chronomat on a pilot bracelet and have recently started experimenting with different straps and resizing the bracelet.
After some hairy moments with an off the self jeweller's screwdriver i figure it's best getting hold of some proper tools.
Especially as i need a really fine screw driver for the pilot bracelet links.

I reckon a good spring bar removal tool and a good screwdriver (for the bracelet resizing) is what i need.

Question is: What is the best type and/or make which will do the job best? Where in the UK can i get them from?

Thanks in advance.

There's a million threads on this on here, but the simple answer is -

Best spring bar tool - Bergeon 6767F
Best bracelet screwdriver - Bergeon 1.8mm (or 1.6 if you go careful with it)
Best place to buy in the UK - www.watchtool.co.uk
