thousands of tutorials showing how to do, but nobody says which screwdriver is needed

i can't go in a hardware shop saying "i need the screwdriver i saw on youtube"

So what? Just buy a watch tool kit, they're extremely cheap

Eyeglass screwdrivers will work, but they are a bit small .... If you love watches like we do, invest in a tool kit ... on Amazon or EBay really cheap .. Good luck.

About 1.2 or 1.4 mm will work

Actually dude. If you need to be asking such a question, which in my honest opinion is really rudimentary handy work.... I think it's best you send your bracelet to a watch Smith. I mean.... It's common sense :S

I think the 1.2mm is too small, i believe 1.4mm -1.6mm works.

received my submariner, i bought a 1,5mm dexter screwdriver, i successfully removed one link and that's it. all other links are impossible to get removed, the screwdriver doesn't turn, and if it turn, the screw doesn't get out


do you know any solutions? i'm starting thinking this bracelet is defective

Hi, just carefully try the next screw. Normally You should remove all the bracelet with a lugbar tool (comes in the toolbox kit) and give it an oilbath.
If You don´t want to do that, screw in the crown, wrap the watch head tight in cellophane/ plastic film from the kitchen and than spray the bracelet with WD40 and pass with Johnsons Baby oil and some toothpaste under running warm water. When it´s dry try again.

thanks, i solved with the spray

honestly some links are just impossible to get out, but anyway i solved the problem

Congrats, that was fast, enjoy and wear it well now

Yup, WD40 solves the problem for me. My JF Yachtmaster gave me tons of trouble when dry, but some WD40 did the trick.

use some Loctite on the other screws please.... search this forum for the term Loctite for assistance if needed.

I had the same problem too, i kinda scratched one of the screw head and now it looks like shit!

Is there any parts online that i can purchase that would fit a noon bracelet. Or do i need to get a td to get it for me. And most of the screwheads, the lines are not centered! Thought 0f changing all the screws..
