Explorer 1 214270 screwdriver size?

Sorry for the question that I'm sure has already been asked but I can't find it anywhere. What is the CORRECT screwdriver size for the bracelet on the 214270 39mm explorer 1?

Im looking to resize mine and don't want to botch the job. I have the bergeon 1.4 but I think its too small.

Don't use a regular bergeon screwdriver with the pointed tip even if it is 1.7mm wide. Those are for movement screws and have a high probability of trashing a higher torque (from the factory thread locker) bracelet screw. You need a hollow ground stubby tip like that horofix pictured above.
