Hi!
I would like to put extra link in my bracelet and I do not want to bother driving over to AD every time. I have tried several small screwdrivers , even the one that was included with my wife's technomarine watch and everything is to big, or to small.
Do you guys adjust your own bracelets, what do you use ?
Thanks,
JL

Given what's currently available outside of sets....

A Bergeon 160 (1.6mm) screwdriver.

Thank you.
Do you know, if there are any local stores that might sell it. Should I ask at jewelry stores ?

Thanks guys.
Is there anyway to buy it locally in US ?
It will probably end up being like $50 with shipping and all, it might be cheaper just to go over to AD to adjust it

I have been verbally smacked around for mentioning this before, but I just use a Craftsman precision screwdriver set from Sears: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00904107000P. They are just $6.99, I'm sure you have a Sears or Kmart near by. I had to buy two - because of my really small wrists, I always have to remove that last link next to the clasp and that takes two screwdrivers. I've never had a problem with them, but I am always really, really careful when adjusting my bracelets.

Best idea is to follow the advice of those who posted before me... but, if you don't want to spend the money or take the time to order online and you are really careful, you can try my way.
