Resize a RO watch bracelet
Hi guys. Let me know if I can resize the bracelet by myself as I do with Rolex and other watches. Last time I tried but it wasn't that easy. What do I need for that? Is there any step by step tutorial or video?
Regards Ricardo |

I didn't do it myself because I was worried I'd scratch the bracelet but it looks fairly simple to remove the screws as long as you have the right sized screwdriver. Not sure of the exact size but someone will come along with that information. Steady hands!

Given that the bracelet shows every bit of wear I would just head to a local watchmaker

Use some tape/plastic foil to avoid making scratches. It's very easy.

Make sure to use a hair dryer to heat the screw (area) you are about to loosen. AP uses a strong Loctite, it seems, so without the heat you run the risk of damaging the screw head or breaking the blade of your screwdriver.
