Hi. There's some conflicting information out these about what size screwdriver I need to adjust the lids on a Day Date 40 mm President bracelet.

**Please only respond if you are 100% sure of what you are talking about.**

Much thanks!!!

Use the one that fits. For my gen I use the gray one to the left of the red one in my Bergeon spinning stand. I've seen cheapo reps with pins that look like screws, and that you push out. Is that why you're asking?

For Rolex bracelets you should use screwdriver with parallel-flanks blades.

You can also get them from Bergeon.

There is a size that works for all rolex bracelets (from 36mm to 41mm oyster or jubilee watches) or needed specific size for specific bracelets?

**Please only ask if you are 100% sure that you have informed yourself sufficiently beforehand.**

There is enough information about it.
Please send me. link to exactly where this sufficient information is. Because there is ONLY conflicting information everywhere I have checked. Some ppl say 1.3mm, some say 1.4mm some say 1.6mm for presidents bracelet on Day Date.

I love when ppl comment, and provide zero help. Nicely done.

Assuming you have a proper set of screwdrivers, use the largest one that completely fits within the screw head without being too wide and damaging to the link. No point being pissy with members. If you have a rep watch there is no guarantee that the screwdriver that's right for the gen will be right for yours.

Excuse me folks for being too aggressive. I thought you guys were my servants and you are all here to answer me whatever i ask, however i ask.

But i'm just a weirdo who types his password publicly on his profile. (Yes what you see on my location info is my password.) As you can see I don't know what the heck i am doing and where the heck i am. Show me some understanding.

I'll be more careful from now on, i'll change my password and i'll not type it to public inputs anymore.

I will also show you guys more respect. You are still trying to help me even after my disrespectful behavior.

Thank you.

As other members have said, i also recommend using proper screwdrivers with "parallel-flanks blades".

As for the exact size, I can't comment for certain because i have experienced situations where the sizes of the screw head varies for different rep factories.

Nonetheless, I recommend buying a proper screwdriver set for changing Rolex links which should come with an assortment of tips/ blades for you to try.

These are what I use to ensure that my bracelet screw heads do not get chewed:

T Shape Blade Screwdrivers for RLX Carti er Watches Band Screws,1.2mm 1.4mm 1.6mm, with PVC Tube Packing

10-pcs-316-Steel-Extreme-Hardness-Watch-Screwdriver-Set-Precision-Watchmaker-Screwdrivers-for-Watch-Repair-Watch.jpg_Q90.jpg_.webp


I have used these screwdrivers (especially the T-shaped ones) for I think more than 200 watches from AP, Rolex, etc and ALL watches sized by me (including GEN ones), have nice looking screw heads instead of ugly twisted chipped and dented ones. I recommend them to all my friends and now to you because you will benefit from using the right tools on your expensive watches.

PS: Your nick reminds me of CS 1.6 where the fastest AWP aimer and shooter gets the most kills lol

Yeah if you're gonna be working on your watches, rep, gen or cracker jack, def worth paying a little more. You'll save on watch parts and bandaids in the long run. Get extra tips at the same time to save on shipping. I use 100, 120, 140, and 160 the most.
