The Rolex Bracelet Sizing Kit

I had the opportunity to pick up a Rolex Bracelet Sizing Kit. These kits were sent to Rolex Authorized Dealers and are not available to the general public. The Rolex Bracelet Sizing kit contains everything a Rolex Authorized Dealer needs to size bracelets.

The Rolex Bracelet Sizing Kit comes in a box that is of the same quality level as their watch boxes, with each tool clearly sorted. There is a magnetic clasp and a string that keeps the lid from flipping back.

The kit includes many tools from Bergeon including all the requisite screwdrivers for Rolex bracelets, a corresponding tube that holds one spare blade, a pin tool for Rolex bracelet clasps, a bracelet holder, an oiler used for applying loctite, and springbar tweezers.

The bracelet block is used for holding the bracelet while removing links.

I found that the springbar tweezers did not fit as well as my Bergeon springbar tweezers. The Rolex springbar tweezers I used on a DeepSea which has the largest springbars Rolex makes.

MannyV11 (Manny) on Rolex Forums pointed out that the forks are on the wrong side of the tool. I'll flip them to the inside which will make them work as intended.

The Rolex 3200 springbar tool is available separately. Read about it here.

 

 

 

The Bergeon tool uses fine forks (FF) and I filed them down for a better fit.

After I flip the forks on the Rolex tool, I have a feeling that they will work as well, if not better, than the Bergeon.

Rolex Screwdriver
The screwdrivers all have scalloped, hollow ground blades that fit the Rolex bracelet screw precisely. A blade that has a chisel point will not work well and result is gummed-up screw heads.

This is a better image of a 1.6mm hollow ground tip; notice the flat edge at the bottom of the blade, and the blade is not shaped like a chisel.
The Rolex Bracelet Kit includes the appropriate Loctite for holding bracelet screws in place.

Rolex Bracelet Sizing Kit Direction Book

Perhaps one of the neatest finds in the Rolex Bracelet Sizing Kit was the direction book. Below are the direction book pages. Click this link for a 10MB PDF of the booklet.
