The jubilee is 1.3mm

I thought so. Thanks for confirming.

I have both bracelets on 36mm Datejusts and the screws are the same. The Rolex 2100 screwdriver works on both. The same works on the Oyster on the Submariner, Explorer, etc. The screws on the 34mm new Yachtmaster are smaller.

As far as I know, the super jubilee bracelet I just bought BNIB is what comes on 36mm Datejusts. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

There is no way the screws accept a 1.6mm driver. If I had micro photography capability I'd show a picture as proof.

Maybe there are different versions of the jubilee bracelet, but for the most modern super jubilee used on 6-digit DJs there's no way you can use the same screwdriver as on a 6-digit Submariner Oyster bracelet, for example.

What is the size of the Rolex 2100 screwdriver?

1.7mm. That screwdriver came with the Sea Dweller for a period of time. Thus, was intended to fit the Oyster screws.

+1 you are correct a jubilee bracelet for a datejust does not take a 1.6mm screwdriver, only 1.3mm (1.2mm would suffice). I can visually tell the difference in addition to calling Rolex RSC in Dallas and checking with my local AD. Most Oyster Bracelets take 1.6mm. but the super jubilee takes 1.3mm. The Rolex 2100 Screwdriver is appox. 1.7mm, which is why it has the best fit for Rolex bracelets. I was going to try to get the 2100, but with jubilee bracelets, it would be useless. I am just going to get two hortec screws in 1.6mm and 1.3mm from Ofrei, $20 each.

2100 I love it!!

For those asking for the gold colored screwdriver (that's all it has for id):

Tha Baron · 12 January 2018, 04:01 AM

What is the brand/name/model of the gold driver 2nd from the right?

Great thread, thanks OP

dysondiver · 12 January 2018, 08:52 AM

i use precision screwdrivers every day at work , huge differences , but you just seem to find a favourite couple that cover most things between them , i got mine from a specialist optical supplier , ill look for the brand tomorrow.

Hi Tom! Did you ever find the brand for the screwdrivers?

RXAPPP · 12 January 2018, 09:16 AM

Thanks

TickTockChuck · 12 January 2018, 10:08 AM

I've been curious about the alternatives, so thanks to all for posting! I've seen too many threads where usually the ADs mess up the screw heads. I think I would go for the Rolex 2100 if that is available any more. Here is a good thread with great close-ups of the 2100. Cheers!

I always thought Bergeron would be the best but they really are garbage. My go-to screwdrivers for everything watch-related is Wiha. Excellent quality tips and just the right sizes and shapes for watches - inside and out.

Hey Brady, thanks for sharing this info. I found a Wiha screwdriver for my super jubilee bracelet.

Can I use the precision one?

Sarosh · 12 January 2018, 11:56 AM

Well that’s just rained on my parade lol. I ordered the Bergeon to adjust the bracelet on my watch rather than taking it to an AD!

Surely if I’m careful enough the screwdriver will suffice to adjust the watch for the first time? As highly unlikely I will be continuously adjusting links.....

Red65 · 13 January 2018, 12:02 PM

Are there knock offs that are sold, as in some of the ones listed on fleabay? It appears they have both the gold one mentioned in this thread, only green and the 2100s.

Juantxo · 9 July 2019, 11:56 PM

Bumping it as some are inquiring about screw drivers.

Gomler · 10 July 2019, 12:44 AM

Horotec 1.8 for me...
Once the tip length has been taken back it fits the slot like a glove with no play whatsoever.
Its also fairly easy and quick to take the 0.1 of the width to make a perfect 1.7mm driver.
Never had any deformation of the screw slots.

Driver blades are normally dressed for individual screws.

I used my Panerai screw driver on my Explorer I bracelet and it worked great. It doesnt work on Tudor BB's oyster though. For that, I use my Bergeon 1.40mm and it did the job without any fuzz.
