If you are talking about unscrewing a screw then any good screwdriver with the correct blade size will do 1.4mm-1.6mm,the bergeon 6111 is a spring bar tool and not a screwdriver.

I think the 1.4 works fine, too - some bracelets have different screws based on vintage.

Get a hollow ground screw driver. This one works for me:

I agree. A 1.6 hollow ground is what you need. I ended up making my own which I ground down to the perfect shape. No slips equal no gouged screws!
