Size of Rolex 228238 Bracelet Screw Head (1.4 or 1.2mm)?

Hey Folks,

What size of a screwdriver is required to remove the link screw from a Rolex 228238 Day-Date bracelet? Is it a 1.4mm or 1.2mm? I tried my Horofix tool and 1.7mm is too big.

I want to be careful that I don't chew-up the head with a screwdriver that is too small. I see that there is a Panerai tool that goes from 1.2-1.6mm.

You need to look for the bracelet code, but if you get that the old Rolex booklet should help.

at a guess it may be 1.3mm
