Easy 4-Step Process to Remove Watch Links

1. Identify the Link to Remove:

• Place the watch on a clean, flat surface.
• Examine the bracelet to determine which link(s) need to be removed for a better fit. For symmetry, it's best to remove an equal number of links from each side of the clasp.

2. Prepare the Watch Link Removal Tool:

• Insert the pointed end of the link removal tool into the handle if it’s not already assembled.
• Adjust the tool so that the pin aligns with one of the link pins on your watch bracelet. The tool's pin should be directly opposite the link pin.

3. Push Out the Link Pin:

• Gently apply pressure to the tool to push the link pin out. Do this slowly to avoid bending the pin.
• Once the pin starts to move, use your fingers or small pliers to pull it out completely. If the pin is resistant, apply steady pressure but avoid forcing it to prevent damage.

4. Reassemble the Watch Band:

• After removing the necessary links, align the remaining links to reattach the bracelet.
• Insert the pin back into the links to reassemble the bracelet, ensuring to push the pin in the opposite direction from which it was removed.
• Confirm that the pin is securely in place and that the links are properly aligned.

Additional Tips:

• Work in a well-lit area to clearly see the small components.
• Place a cloth or soft pad under the watch to avoid scratching.
• Be patient and gentle to avoid damaging the watch or the links.
• If you’re unsure or uncomfortable with the process, seek professional assistance from a jeweler.

This streamlined guide should help you adjust your watch band with ease.
