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?

Buy a set of precision or watch repair screwdrivers. Most of the time they are color coded. Make sure the fit is perfect ! They are hard to get loose due to thread compound. I had to lock the bracelet in a small vise (w/protectors) the get them loose.

Check your local pharmacy for a repair kit for glasses.

This sums it up, hardest watch screws I've ever had to remove. Almost quit myself but finally broke them loose and got them off.

If you use heat they will come right out and you won't mess the heads up. Blow dryer works perfect. 1.6mm screw driver, but make sure you get the hollow ground type. It's really easy if you use the right tool and heat! Good luck
