Hello All

Can someone guide me to which screw driver or screw driver set I should be looking at in order to swap straps on my AP ROO Panda. I currently have a three piece set from Eurotool (SCR-260.03) which I believe I bought from eBay. They are color coded with black, purple and red, however I have ruined the red tip screw driver and I find when changing the strap over its easier to use two screw drivers as the pin spins if you only use one. Please advise. Thanks on advance.

A pair of 1.6mm screwdrivers. If you don't file your own screwdrivers then buy cut-out screwdrivers to avoid flaring the slots.

Thanks. So I guess it's best to buy two. Also, has anyone purchased the conversion kit from APBands.

A set of proper Bergeon screw drivers will last forever.
I would also recommend you to get a base driver? Not sure what its called looks like three screw drivers on a heavy weight base.

My experience about apbands hasn't been the best, Strap had a terrible fit.

Just buy the OEM stuff... Much better fit.

Sandro, it's scary reading your post and imagining the operation. I'm hopeless at DIY. I change the strap on my IWC because it's my beater. But for a more pristine watch I take it to the shop where experience, steadier hands and a huge magnifying glass are at my service. Good luck with it.

It really is much easier than it sounds. Just requires the right screw driver and you are good to go.
