Good point with Loctite. 221 is fine as well.

Yup. Any of the removable grades will work.

It used to be just blue and red, but there are other colors now. Before, blue meant that it was removable, and red meant that it was permanent.

Update: my 222MS grade is in a red/purple-ish bottle. So I wouldn't go by the colors anymore. It says "low strength" and the specs on Loctite's site say it is removable.

There is a great writeup on doing the link removal on this site.

A screwdriver came with the watch. It appears to be 1.2mm or a 1.4mm. One size larger would fit more correctly.

I bought some small screwdrivers today. What size should I use for my GMT and Submariner bracelet? 1.2 mm? 1.4 mm? 1.6 mm? 2.0 mm?


Thanks

I'm not positive which size I have, but I want to get a blade one size up.

Here's how "Tools" describes it:

It's pretty clear that the 1.2 is too small, but the 1.4 might do in a pinch, however, the 1.6 is perfect and has a more sturdy handle.
For this a sturdy, properly fitting tool, is a safeguard against slipping or damage:

Great information.

I drive near Lancaster Horological Supply, and plan on stopping in for a set of Bergeon screwdriver set.
