Asking for advice on what size of the flathead screwdriver should I be using?

I attempted with a generic flathead screwdriver that was a bit too small...

Nope; 1.4mm is required.

At least it's 1.4mm for the twin screwed C65 Aquitaine bracelet and single screw C1 Bel Canto bracelets (I have sized both).

I'd expect the same for the C60 Trident Pro 300 as the bracelet is essentially the same; it's the end links that are model specific.

Can confirm 1.2mm will do the job for a 38mm Trident Pro 300, it does have a little wriggle room but I don't have a 1.4mm (assuming Bergeon makes one of these) on hand to test.

Thanks to all for the tips and the OP for creating this post, will have my bracelet sized shortly! (pics will follow)

My wife thinks I have a watch problem. I'm a glass half-full guy, I think of it as a healthy interest in horology ;)

On this one, if you go for resizing by CW, will they follow instructions on where to take the links from? I like the 6 side to be shorter than the 12....

Hopefully but only if you request this to be done that way at the point of purchase I would suspect.
