    A couple of seconds with a naked flame will soften the Loctite, this is essential if damage to screws is to be avoided. As for the screwdriver width, I suggest getting one with a tapered blade and dressing it with a diamond file, owing to the taper this will have the effect of producing a fatter blade tip and a snug fit.

    Have always used a Wera 2035 1.8mm .4mm thick, perfect fit for Omega bracelet screws

    No probs, I’d tried a few before the Wera, definitely the best one for Omega screws.

    The Wera one is 1.8mm by 0.3mm and I would go for the 40mm lenght. I think the proper size is 1.9mm hence Paul suggesting getting a wider one and filing for a perfect fit.

    Another option is a Wiha 1.8 x 40mm slotted screwdriver. Ref is 96018. I have used this for a number of years on my Omega bracelets and the fit into the screw head is excellent.
