The Breitling Watch Source Forums

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.

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

Bergeon 160 will do the job.

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.
