3717 Bracelet Resizing

[vlydog]

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

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.

So you have to push the pin from both sides at once?

Thanks

[valerian]

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.

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

[vlydog]

Thanks gentlemen. I will give it a go.

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?

[vlydog]

Arrived on Friday B.

Great looking strap and a great deal to-boot.

Thank you.

Do you guys use toothpicks and or a spring bar tool?

Little stubby pin tools, right? Two to a pack?

sold mine with my GST.

two toothpicks worked for me.

But if you get two tooth picks and a sharpi you can write IWC on them and then they will be fine for the job

[FxrAndy]

Shall i send you a set??

how did you know were they were made?

[vlydog]

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?

[dvn]

on the inside side of the bracelet

[vlydog]

OK, thanks

The link pins are exposed on both sides so which way do you push?

[dvn]

i don't know it matters unless i am wrong

[valerian]

DVN's right. Does not matter.

The suspense is killing me. Did it work?
