It's important to choose the right tools

It's not always Bergeon is the best choice.


Bergeon VS MOD DFP 1,6mm screwdriver for Rolex links.

I just got this MOD DFP screwdriver to the left.

A problem I have noticed with the Bergeon 1,6mm screwdriver (to the right) is it's very easy to slip when you should add/remove

a link on a Oyster bracelet. That will result in a not nice scratch at the side of the link. The Rolex Ref 2100 screwdriver works

like a charm but you can't just walk into a Rolex dealer and buy it. So I now have found a great alternative.

You can already here see the difference.

Lets see how it works with a screw to a link.

The Bergeon will not fit properly.

But this one do and it's very tight and feels very safe when I compare with the Bergeon..

A flat tip is definitely required for the screws. I found that out the hard way. I've got the right tools now. The fat one does the job brilliantly. It helps when the bracelet is place here too. Thanks for the informative post. fernando ...
