Breitling Bracelet Link Removal Problems

[Phil.]

Bought a new breitling bracelet last week and want to remove a couple of the links to make it fit. Have done this before on other bracelets without a problem but this time my usual set of screwdrivers won't fit the screws in the links which have very narrow and shallow screw heads. I tried buying a new screwdriver that I thought would do the job but that was also too large. I would prefer to alter the bracelet myself, so advice on which screwdriver I should be purchasing would be most helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Your local Maplins should have something, I think the set I have were designed for fiddly electrical stuff.

Use either a grey or purple watchmakers screwdriver

They may not be screws... some link "screws" are split pins which simply push out. The end of the split pin looks like a screw head with very little depth....

Get on ebay and buy a good watch tool kit - it contains a link pin pusher tool. About 20 quid.
