Thank you for the review and did it myself, would recommend a watch shop to do it. 💪 My Invicta Pro Diver 40 mm Silver And Gold Blue Face Automatic Looks Amazing On My Wrist. 😁
Thanks for a great video! Very helpful for me to adjust the bracelet on my massive Invicta HydroMax! I was a little bit nervous and your video just helped calm my nerves as I went through the process. Much appreciated!! :)
I bought a 9311 Pro diver today. It was the all gold with black dial. Absolutely beautiful Chrisp bezel but I had to return it, I broke my tool trying to remove the link pins. They were so jammed in there. It was unbelievable and then I went to my jeweller and they couldn’t do it either. I don’t know if they were seized up, but they were just impossible to remove. I’ve had other invictas and never this problem. It’s a shame. It’s such a beautiful, watch it had the Swiss Quartz movement
@@TheLezwoymn I went back to the store and the manager let me try with my tool to see if I could move the pins on the other gold identical one and I couldn’t. So unfortunately I did not get a replacement.
Oh yep, I also think that would look good. Its very easy with a strap removal tool or a small screwdriver. Any 20mm strap will work if your shopping around for some.
Better hope you never need to resize after you initially set it up. All the pins in my Pro Diver have all corroded and cannot be removed. I've lost weight and needed to adjust it. Turns out I have to buy a new bracelet. Meanwhile I have a stainless G-shock that is older which I've swam in, showered in, been rained on and sweat on and was still able to remove a link with no issue. Most likely the first and last Invicta I will ever own..
@@jeffreylebowski1240 I've been wearing them almost exclusively since I was 13. Almost 40 now. Every time I try to go to a more expensive watch I either have issues with them or just find them sort of lack luster.
Have two different Pro Divers here, like the ones in the video, and I cannot remove any of the pins. All the tools I bought keep bending and snapping, and I am doing it correctly. Going in the right direction as indicated by the arrows on the underside of the bands. No amount of using a pin press or punches and a hammer will move the pins more than 1mm before the tool bends or snaps off. Went through like 6 pin tools so far, nothing works... These pins in the bracelet are simply too tight and require too much force to remove on the two that I have...
Sorry to hear that. I have adjusted multiple bracelets of all brands for the other watches I have reviewed and never had an issue like that? They should pop out before you get to 1mm out? Are you sure you’re going in the right direction? Sorry to ask but that would bend a tool like that.
@@CasualWatchReviews I have another tool on order, but it seems pretty straight forward... Push towards the arrow, in the direction that it points. haha I have a better tool coming and we will see if that one works, else I will have to take it to a jeweler...
@@CasualWatchReviews Yeah, when the new tool gets here I will do a video of it for my channel and let you know. I am uploading a video now of one of those $35 Olev Amazon watches, and from the initial impressions, wow. Its gorgeous, so as long as it keeps decent time and the hands don't fall off, I will consider that one a tremendous value... haha
@@CasualWatchReviews After 45 frustrating minutes breaking 9 of the 10 tool's pins, I finally get it all done. Its a combination of the pins in my band being what I think is WAY too tight, and the tool itself is flimsy and wobbles around, and once you have it putting that much pressure against that pin, if the band shifts or isn't 100% level and straight, it puts the pin at a slight angle and it bends... I did finally get through it, but it was way more difficult than it should have been. I have removed links in other watch bands over the years just by pushing pins out by hand...
Hello, excuse me do you know how to do it with the other "flat links" with no holes next to the ones than you show on the video my wrist is to short that happens to me a lot of times:/hahaha
Yep, I'm sorry but I don't think those can be removed, there are only a certain number of links that can be adjusted. Have you tried a rubber strap or maybe a nato?
Could you buy a preowned one and just use the bracelet, I bet that would be cheaper than sourcing the links separately. If I still had this one I would have sent you the spares.
You could stick the other one on a nice rubber strap and give it away or sell it? I would put money on it that its cheaper to buy another watch and take the links than try and source the links separately.
@@CasualWatchReviews and, I may do just that but the question was, "Can anyone tell me the correct nomenclature for those little devils so I can look for a place to purchase them?"
The heading: Easily Resize Invicta Pro Diver Bracelet, I reckon you should have stayed on Invicta so as not to confuse with other bracelets? Thank you....
I replied to your other comment also. I made this as simple as I possible could. I only show the Invicta prodiver in the video but Invicta do use other methods other than pins so I thought it was worth the 2 seconds I spent in the upload talking about screws. I have a second longer video also if that helps. But I’m honestly not sure how much more simple I could have made that. You just need to give it a go or take your watch to a watchmaker
so invicta customer service is a bunch of idiots - they list their band sizes at 210 mm and they couldnt tell me if their band size is the total length of the watch so as to fit my wrist which is slightly bigger- any advice?
I’m not sure what you mean? I tried to make this as easy as possible to follow. I tried to improve on the first video which I believe is the top rated video on adjusting Invicta pro diver bracelets on UA-cam. Out of the hundreds of comments I have received across both videos your the only one who has mentioned about the micro adjust. Nearly a half million people have watched across both uploads.
I got the pins out on one side of the watch. The problem is the other side the pins are all jammed. I broke one pin removal tool already. The second one is damaged. I saw clip of a guy from Invicta who had a tool that popped out pins by ramming the pins with the tool. The tool had a ball on the end that one can hit. I can't find this tool anywhere.
You can do it properly at home... interestingly the previous video I did on this subject got a massive spike during COVID lockdowns. Thanks for watching!
Brilliant Video! Visual step by step. And the tip for sizing the clasp was spot on. Thanks
Very well done How-To video Sam! Anyone trying to adjust a bracelet with split pins should watch this video 👍
Thanks Jeffrey, I used a lot of the feedback from the last upload and made is as short as possible! less rambelling in this one!
I love their pro diver watches. I got the classic black and stainless steel color version. Looks like my favorite Rolex Submariner watch!
Fantastic, and made my Pro Diver fit perfectly. You know, for a 'cheapy' the Invicta Pro Diver is really quite decent for the few clams...
A handy tip; Before you are going to use tools to resize your watch, practice this first on an old bracelet you will never use.
Very True.💪
Thank you! My pro diver fits perfect now, this video helped me a lot
Glad it helped!
Thanks buddy,now I have finished my invicta's bracelet adjustment to see your vedio,,very helpful ❤❤❤
Great service instructions.
Well done.
Thank you for plain and simple instructions, no rambling.
Great video, I have just removed a link and it fits fine now. Thank you.
That gret, glad it worked out. Once you get the hang of it it’s easy but can be intimidating if you have never done it before. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the Video! I just ordered the Tool and Excited to do my own watches instead of paying an arm and a leg
Let us know how you get on!!
You definitely made it easier for me !! Thanks for the help
Awsome video. The only video that explains it well.
Glad it helped!
Thank you, have a pleasant day,and God bless.........
Thanks, I have that pin removed tool.
Excellent clear video , thank you !
Thanks Steve!
Thank you for the review and did it myself, would recommend a watch shop to do it. 💪

Thanks, great stuff! Is it possible to replace a metal bracelet with a leather band (invicta)?
Oh yep, I also think that would look good. Its very easy with a strap removal tool or a small screwdriver. Any 20mm strap will work if your shopping around for some.
@@CasualWatchReviews Thanks! I'll do that.
Hello friend I would like to know what size is the bezel insert, I would like to buy one and modify it thank you very much
Check on some forums, I missed another one with a bezel for a Rolex submariner. But there are a lot of forums that cover modding prodivers
Great video mate... thanks... just ordered the tool kit.

I recently picked up a G-Shock (GW-M5610U) and I love it so much I don’t think I’ll wear another watch lol.

@@black79montecarlo123 same! I picked up I received a nice Citizen automatic for my birthday and I honestly enjoy the simplicity of my G Shocks
I mean… Metal Gshocks are WAY more expensive. Got the Prodiver at less than 50 dollars.

The pins? You can get them on Amazon
@@CasualWatchReviewsThe links themselves must have a name...?
You have it right, they are called links.
Witch model is this?
Here you go amzn.to/3vxq7E9
What exact version is this? i cant find it anywhere
Here you go www.amazon.com/dp/B07RLKVJY1/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_MFKZQ2GG1THZ8SJN3STH?linkCode=ml2&tag=cwrev-20
Does anyone know where I can get links to make my bracelet longer?🤔
Could you buy a preowned one and just use the bracelet, I bet that would be cheaper than sourcing the links separately. If I still had this one I would have sent you the spares.
@@CasualWatchReviews This is a "pre-owned" unit. I just need 2 links.
@@CasualWatchReviews ad... that would leave me with one watch that fits and one extra that doesn't.
You could stick the other one on a nice rubber strap and give it away or sell it? I would put money on it that its cheaper to buy another watch and take the links than try and source the links separately.

Nothing I do works

I remember there being plenty of extra room. My wrist in the shots is 7.2 inch. I think even up to 8 - 9 inch should be ok
If only you would just show how it's removed?
How what is removed?
Poor instruction for micro adjustment,Changing links is simple,easy to get lost with the micro.Far better to inform of this.Use the KISS format?

Just take it to a shop, get it done properly.
Cost me £2 per link.
