It's taken me half a day but I'm done. Doesnt actually look too bad either. I whacked the pins half way back in then straightened with pliers before finishing them off. I just have to make sure that I never gain or lose weight as I daren't go through this again.
The watch is nice.
Lol.. thanks for the comments. I have enough out to start lining it up now . It looks like I need to size it with one side longer than the other as there is only 1 half link and I need an odd number of whole links but it doesnt look too bad. I think I'll have a rest before I go through trying to find the least bent links to put back in!
Got a couple out. Looks like the tool I have has been bending them on the way out. My watch is getting more and more little scratches as I do this and Im not even half way through. What a ridiculous way to make these.
Thanks for the advise.
While I agree that this works on most watches. These things could not be tighter. I can grip the pin with pliers but cant get it to move at all other than round and round. Its driving me crazy!
I recieved a PO 42mm today from eurotimez (2nd one sent as first never arrived). I am having an unbelieveable time trying to get the pins out to resize the bracelet. I have a tool for doing this yet they do not seem to come out more than about 5mm then get stuck. Is there a trick to doing this or do I need some kind of supermachine to do it?
