Simple 4-Step Guide to Remove Watch Links
1. Identify Links to Remove
-
Place the watch on a clean, flat surface.
-
Examine the bracelet and decide which link(s) to remove for the right fit.
-
For balance, remove an equal number of links from each side of the clasp.
2. Prepare the Link Removal Tool
-
If needed, assemble the tool by inserting the pointed end into the handle.
-
Position the tool so the pin aligns precisely with the bracelet’s link pin.
-
Ensure proper alignment opposite the link pin.
3. Remove the Link Pin
-
Gently apply pressure with the tool to push the pin out of the bracelet.
-
Once the pin is loose, pull it out carefully using fingers or small pliers.
-
If resistance occurs, apply steady, controlled pressure without forcing it.
4. Reassemble the Watch Band
-
Align the remaining links.
-
Insert the pin back through the links in the reverse direction.
-
Check that the pin is secure and links are properly connected.
Extra Tips
-
Work in a bright area for better visibility.
-
Use a soft cloth or pad to protect the watch from scratches.

Be patient and gentle to avoid damage.

If unsure, consult a professional jeweller.
