New watch arrived today. Thanks to your video i was able to adjust and wear it the same evening instead of having to take it to the jewelry store tomorrow. Thank you 😃
Best tutorial for bracelet adjustment! Thank you, I`ve made ajustments on three differemt watches with different bracelets. In a moment I was ready to brake something, but lucky me I made anything just fine 👌
My new Seiko King Samurai came with a 22mm bracelet that uses pin and collar. I used to a press to get the pins out of the bracelet and when putting it back together I couldn’t get either collar tube to fit back in the hole. I did everything even trying to squeeze the end down a little to make it slightly cone shaped to help it get it. I finally put the tube on the pusher press pin and tried to press it in but all it did was crush. I have pins with friction ends on them, they look kinda like cotter pins on them so I took one of them and hammered it in to the hole and it seems to be holding pretty good till I can get to a dealer to get a proper pin and collar installed. Thanks for making this video, it helped I just wasn’t as lucky as you, it was not going to slide back in for anything. It looked like a solid tube with no seam so there wasn’t anyway to squish it to fit.
Instead of a special tool, I actually just made it work using a SIM tool (from phone/sim) on my pins. Had to use some little pliers to pull out one of the particularly stubborn pins. The other just came the rest of the way out using my fingers.
Thank you mate your a legend newnwtach strap was a little stiff at first but managed to get the band sorted on my slimmer wrist without haveong to pay £10-15 very much appreciated 👍🏻
Hi I had a question as I am thinking about buying a watch but wanted to know how long the bracket was to ensure it fit my wrist. What is the smallest size it can go?
This is the watch (with a sandwich dial instead): shop.diywatch.club/collections/watchmaking-kit-gmt-watches-mechanical/products/diy-watchmaking-kit-nh34-gmt-dive-watch-stainless-stain-bracelet-ceramic-batman-gmt-bezel-dwc-d04
"Simply screw back in." I bought one of the nice solid link bracelets for my watch, not the lite version, and it's impossible to screw the links back in place. They come out easily, but when I try to screw it back together with a link in place it just doesn't work, the screw hits a certain point and just locks. Infuriatingly, if I remove the link and try screwing it back together without the link in place it suddenly works. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but now I have a completely useless bracelet that I paid extra for, and at this point I'm just thinking about dumping it at a watch repair shop and asking them to resize it for me because maybe they know something I don't.
@@louisnanda9121 I managed to get the links to screw back in on the 3rd attempt, the only advice I can give is "screw them in and out again, shifting the bracelet, until you find the magic alignment that works." To me it seems that they were made with too tight a tolerance somewhere so any slight misalignment causes the entire thing to seize up. Extremely aggravating. Now I have a Boldr bracelet that I can't size either for much the same reason lol just unlucky I guess.
Disappointed with the DIY bracelet after waiting all this time- surprised you didn’t give us something better, especially for the price. No taper on a 22mm bracelet and the cheap clasp is such a shame.
Thank you for making this tutorial. I got my son a watch for Christmas and needed to adjust it to fit his wrist. This helped a ton!

Same situation as you! Not sure what do as the collar just wont go in.
I had the confidence to adjust the strap on a Seconda 30023 Velocity thanks to watching this tutorial. Thankyou!
I thought my band was broken but it was that doggone collar you showed. Actually able to wear the watch with the native band now, thanks so much!
no problem
Good video. Nice work. Superb content. Covered bases professionally - no detail left out.
Instead of a special tool, I actually just made it work using a SIM tool (from phone/sim) on my pins. Had to use some little pliers to pull out one of the particularly stubborn pins. The other just came the rest of the way out using my fingers.
Thanks for sharing. I will try that.
thanks so much! you helped me adjust my dad's watch and he was so happy
Thank you, mine was the L / U type. Tricky but got there in the end. Much appreciated 😊
Of course mine is the second to hardest to remove... Casio. It fits like a charm now though😂

How to adjust the Size of Tissot couturier automatic chronograph watch?
They make it look like the pin just slots right in, but mine doesnt fit. I cant stuff it in. It doesnt just slide in nice and easy liek that.
Useful video thanks. I have a question… ok to ask here?
Sure, what is it?
@@DIYWatchClub how is the center links joined to the link? And if the center link is damaged, how does one remove it?
Not sure I understand what you mean by center link. Would you have a photo by any chance?
What is the nice watch, with the blue on the bezel?
