New Speedy Pro bracelet screws
So I just purchased another speedy but this one is for my father for his 67th birthday...I want to size the bracelet and short of going to the Omega ad or my watchmaker I'd like to just do it myself....the small screwdriver said I have that works for my Rolex watches doesn't fit these damn tiny little screws for the speed master bracelet what is the exact screwdriver that Omega would use or that my watchmaker would use?

An Old Favorite
With 2 Rolex's, a Tudor and Breitling sometimes the Omega feels slighted and lacks wrist time. All I do is wear it a few days in a row and it reconfirms that fact that's it's an awesome watch and I'll never part with it....20140402_112538_resized.jpg20140402_112640_resized.jpg

True Story:My grandfather bought a Patek Philippe wristwatch sometime between the 1930's and 1950's. I know nothing about it other than it was gold and it meant a lot to him.

I was 10 years old at the time, and it furthered my love in fine watches.I have stayed in contact with the owners of my grandparents' house. They are only the second owners (built in 1926-27). I hope to be able to access the attic once again when they sell the house, and perhaps be able to find this elusive family heirloom/treasure. Perhaps it will be gone forever, perhaps I will never find it or have
