Hi to all.

I need your help. I need to resize the Pro II bracelet (22/20) witch came on Superocean 44, and since all my "precision" screwdrivers are too dull (blunt) and too fat, can you please tell me witch Bergeon screwdriver would fit in these screws? I was planning to go with Bergeon 30080 1.60mm (Violet head).

Thank you

1.4 works great. I never tried the 1.6 but I'm not 100% if it will fit. I would get a set if you could that way you would have a selection and probably always have an optimal size for the application.

Standard has always been 180 (1.8 ) which is difficult to find so I have always used 160 (1.6). Slightly surprised that 140 / 1.4 is considered a good fit, it's always been dangerously loose in my experience and risks damaging the slot.

Sorry for the misinformation, I've only used the 1.4 because that's the size I had on hand at the time, but I never ran into any problems..
That being said Roff is the man and definitely knows more about this stuff than me. Take his word for sure.

I had measured the diameter and is just below 2.00, so 1.80 would work great, but as you said, it's very very difficult to find. So 1.60mm it is :)
Thank you

I will take a 1.6mm Bergeon over a 1.8mm Chinese every single time!
