    On most watch bands there are arrows located on the inside of the band indicating in which direction the pin is to be removed. When reassembling replace the pin in the opposite direction of the arrow with the "split" portion of the pin going in last as this video shows . Also if a link does not have an arrow then that pin and link is to be considered non-adjustable.

  • @Darryl603
    @Darryl603 9 років тому +12

    Worked like a champ! I would try not to squeeze more than you have to with the pliers, so that you don't flatten the wider part of the pin that keeps it in the hole. One way is to look closely at the pin and put the pliers on the areas where you see the split, that way it won't flatten the keeper. I watched your video before trying it on my own and it helped to see what to do first. Thanks for posting,

    Saved me a ton of time and $20.00 at the mall.
    A friend gave me a watch for my birthday. I put it off for a while to modify the band.
    I used your method but couldn't find a hammer so I used a small crowbar. It was hard at first.
    But I used another person's suggestion with two books to create that gap. Worked like a
    charm.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! My wife bought me a nice watch just before the corona out break. The band was just too sloppy for my wrist. Been waiting for a shop to open to size it. Had a Ummm...moment and went to you tube. Saw your video and did the job in less than 10 minutes. You are the BEST. Last time I had a watch band sized it cost $25 and that was 10 yrs ago. Thanks again and I am subscribing right now. Regards: Tommy Boy. P.S. And to MrCosmo314...use two book of equal thickness as your work surface...IDIOT.

    • @65revenge
      @65revenge 8 років тому

      There should be holes on both sides of the link.....if you can't get the pin out by using one hole,
      use the hole in the other side of the link. These pins are not just a smooth piece of metal.....one end has a
      bit of a flare to it, so when linking back up be sure the flared end goes into hole first. This takes
      patience, but it's worth the effort....what's worse than a watch that flops around on your wrist!

    Multiple places in the mall were trying to charge me $20-$30 to adjust my strap, and the snobby Jewelers place that does it for free seems to be annoyed after you show up more than 2 times trying to dial in a perfect fit, so learning to do it myself is a huge win, thanks 😊
