vlydog Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Can anyone point me in the direction of a post that explains how to re-size the SS bracelet on a 3717? please and thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerian Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I don't have a link but I've done it many times myself. Fairly easy: There's a spring loaded pin on the inner side of the links that you have to push in while you push the bracelet pin from the side. Takes no force at all. Good luck. Val.

vlydog Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 So you have to push the pin from both sides at once? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerian Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Yes, but just for a short moment. The bracelet pin has a groove (?). If you push the spring loaded pin on the inner side of the bracelet you can release the bracelet pin. You can then push the bracelet pin out without having to keep the pressure on the spring loaded pin. Have you found the pin on the inner side? It looks like two small circles. Let me know if you struggle, I can take a pic. Val. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 While pushing the button in the hole on the inside of the bracelet, push the pin from the side that corresponds to where you are releasing it at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Thanks gentlemen. I will give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Yep, push the button and hold it down while pushing the pin out. Sometimes the pins stick a little, but they will come out. PS did the DiModell arrive yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vlydog Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Thought I had this straight until I just took another look. Is the button you speak of on the underside of the bracelet or on the side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
