Hey everyone,
I have a chronomat evolution with pilot bracelet and I am looking for the correct tool that will allow me to:

1. Change straps (for when I get a leather!!)
2. Resize my pilot bracelet through the addition/ removal of links
3. Make changes to the microadjustment on the clasp.

Is there one tool that will do all these jobs or what would you recommend? I remember reading about a bergeon tool and something about replacement tips but can't find the post. In any case I suppose I want to make sure I get the tool thats most suited to my chronomat!

Thanks in advance
PS. Links to where to buy would be great too!! Cheers guys!!

This may help.

You'll also need a 1.8mm screwdriver to remove the screws from the bracelet.

And to anticipate the next question.........

The Bergeon 1.8mm screwdrivers are hard to find individually so a 1.6mm works fine.

Thanks guys! Appreciate the help!! 8)

So, to recap I need the two items below.

Tool:
http://www.watchtool.co.uk/bergeon-6767 ... -6706.html

Screwdriver:
http://www.watchtool.co.uk/bergeon-scre ... -6564.html

One more question- am i right to assume the 6767F tool has the pin required to make the micro adjustments on the pilot bracelet clasp?

PS. Can you recommend a polishing cloth from the website above?

6767F has a fork on one end and a pin on the other.

Preferred polishing cloths are Cpae Cod and Sunshine, the search function will give you all kinds of threads on them.

Is Bergeon 6767F good for bracelet and leather strap pins or is Bergeon 6111 better?
Can someone guide me on this?
