Sizing kit?

Hi guys, where is a good place to buy a watch sizing kit? I'd prefer something rubber or soft I don't want to scratch off my watch.

I'm tired of going to the AD to get it sized, I always feel bad as I didn't buy one there.

Never heard of a sizing kit. All you need is a proper screwdriver.

And for the first time, I'd tape that baby up, just in case you slip.

Here's a quick DIY kit I put together myself. Got them from various places online.

As stated above, not sure what you mean by sizing kit.

You just need a screwdriver and possibly some loctite.

If you really want to do it yourself and are worried about scratches, just go slow and tape up the areas around the screws.

Give it a wash afterwards and you'll be good to go.

If so, you'd have to locate on ebay.

I know, I'm not sure of the history behind this, but they either don't make them anymore or they are not supposed to be available to anyone other than Rolex certified techs.

You could put something together yourself, I'm guessing a 1.6 mm hollow ground screwdriver, a spring bar removal tool and some loctite 222 would satisfy most of what you need to do.
