Instructions

    • 1

      Place your watchband around your wrist to determine how many links need to be removed so the watch will fit.

    • 2

      Look on the back of the watch for an arrow. This arrow indicates in what direction the pin needs to be pushed to remove the links.

    • 3

      If using an eyeleteer, push the eyeleteer against the pin to be removed. If using a small nail or pin, position the nail or pin against the watchband pin and gently tap with the tack hammer.

    • 4

      Once the pin has become somewhat dislodged from its position, use the pliers to remove it completely from the watchband.

    • 5

      Keep your pin and links in a safe place in case you need to re-size your watch.

Tips & Warnings

  • A jeweler will often adjust your watch for a nominal fee if you prefer not to do it yourself.

  • Always use caution when using hammers and sharp tools. Be aware that by altering the watch yourself, you might void the warranty.
