I just went on a little shopping spree and have 3 watches with metal bracelets coming in the mail that I need to re-size. I only have a silly glasses repair screwdriver and I don't want to strip the screws. o| I was going to buy some Burgeon screwdrivers but the sets are pretty expensive. I can probably afford to buy 3 or so sizes individually. What sizes should I buy to fix Zenith, Ball, and StrapCode (for Seiko Alpinist) bracelets?

Thanks,

I bought a bergeon kit with extra blades and a cheap kit for the extra handles. Some bracelets require two of the same size. I bought a 12 pc kit which was pricey but completely worth it. The blades are strong and true. Swiss tech also make good screwdrivers. They come individually or in sets of 5 and up. Good luck!

I forgot to mention, if you don't have a case vise, this would be a good time to get one. It makes securing the watch much easier. Especially if you are using both hands to turn screws.

 

I have a 1.4mm that's fit every bracelet I've tried it on.

 

Thanks guys! I'll look into a case vise as well as the Swiss Tech screwdrivers. But I may just break down and buy the Burgeon and be done with it.
