Replacement screws for Sub-C Oyster bracelet

Where can you get replacement screws for the SubC-Date Oyster bracelet? I see after-market ones listed on Amazon and Ebay, but I'm pretty sure those are cheap Chinese crap. Does an AD have screws?

THE BACKSTORY: Even the Bergeon 1.6mm screwdriver does not fit snugly into the Oyster screws and no matter how carefully you loosen the screw, there is a tiny amount of damage to the screw head because the tip of the screwdriver wiggles slightly inside the slot. So, thinking ahead -- in case I ever adjusted the bracelet again -- I might want to one day replace the screw.

I have also ordered another screwdriver, just in case, with a non-tapered tip. In theory, because the tip is of uniform thickness, it will fit tighter into the slot (which is always a good thing:).

So, back to my original question: Where can you get replacement screws for the Sub bracelet?

Thank you.

You can order them at your AD.

Stay away from cheap chinese crap. They are not near the tolerances of the originals and from a different material too.
