Hello all. I just received a Bulova Marine Star watch for a work anniversary gift, and I’m trying to remove links. The problem is the flathead slots on the tiny screws are extremely shallow, and none of my my small screwdrivers will turn them. I know I could take it to a jeweler, but I’m sure there must be a way I can do it myself. Any ideas? Thanks very much

Likely the blade tip is touching the bottom of the slot. Grind the driver slightly on a sharpening stone keeping it vertical until it does not cam out anymore.There are are drivers with a torque knob which are useful for bracelets. And to be on the safe side heat the part with a lighter to loosen any locking agent that may be there.
