Hello,

I have a Navitimer 01 on the bracelet waiting for me when I return home in 3 weeks. I would like to order two Bergeon millimeter screwdrivers so I can size it myself. I have searched but couldn't find out exactly what size screwdriver was needed. I reviewed some old posts and read someone used a 1.4 mm screwdriver. However I emailed Linda, at Ofrei.com, and she said she wasn't familiar with the Navitimer bracelet but she recommended a 0.8 mm screwdriver (she said that was standard on most bracelets). Before I order I just want to know if anybody has experience sizing their Navitimer 01 bracelet and what size screwdriver they used.

I do understand that the Bergeon 6767-F is recommended for swapping the bracelet and straps.

Thanks,
cp

Yes, there is an AD in my area however when I return home they will be closed for the day an I am excited to wear my Navi 01.

I highly doubt that it is 0.8. Most Breitling bracelets need a Bergeon 180 (1.8 ), but as that is not the easiest to find a 160 (1.6) works. Am wearing my 01 today but my Bergeon kit is at home. If I remember this evening I'll see what fits best.

R,

That'd would be great if you could check sometime. I just looked on the Ofrei.com website and they have Bergeon 1.8 mm screwdrivers.

Thanks for your help,
cp

Couldn't find my 180 this evening, but the 160 is a good fit, and I'm guessing that a 180 will be a perfect fit - 200 is too big.
