Martyd3 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 My BB arrived this morning. It looked great, except for a couple of the bezel screws, which did not sit flush. I was able to remove one of the screws using finger pressure. After using my trusty can of pressured air to blow out the screw hole, I was able to reinstall the screw flush, once again using just finger pressure. I can move other screws in the bezel this way. I am afraid that a screw will go MIA at some point. Has anyone figured out a way to tighten the screws? There must be a tool. Can we get one made if there are enough buyers? I can't imagine that it would be more than a couple of dollars. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 It's easy to make a split haed driver. Just find a thin blade and use a dremel cutting wheel to make the cut and narrow the edges if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 For $400 or whatever the cost is they should give you the screw driver as they do on the Inge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elprimerozen Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 For $400 or whatever the cost is they should give you the screw driver as they do on the Inge. Yes they must give together with the watch the correct tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam-O-licious Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) I bought the special screw drver from Angus.... it's not cheap though 30 plus shipping... but, I rather pay that than damage a screw or loose a few..

deltatahoe Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 the smallest screwdriver from my screwdriver set fits in one of the two slots; i inserted it into one of the slots and tried to do what i could to tightened the bezel the screw....i thought about buying another screwdriver set (it was only $3) and using two of them together... probably not the best way of doing it, but figured i'd pass along my thoughts... deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whopfish Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Someone previously mentioned that a springbar tool can be used. I've not tried as I don't have one, but planning to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flugel Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Would two toothpicks work? I doubt that they would scratch anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I'm not sure that one could get the right amount of leverage using two small screw drivers or toothpicks to tighten the screw. If the watch is a keeper piece for you guys, it might be a good idea to either buy the tool, or sacrifice a jeweler's or watchmaker's screwdriver by slotting it to make the right tool. The peace of mind in knowing you have the right tool to do the job would be worth it (at least, to me it would be)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
