Are you sure they're not screws?

i assume screws?

 

soak bracelet in wd40 for a few hours, then try. heat might also work.

 

ive had link screws that would not turn for anything, i tried heat, holding a soldering gun to it for a minute, i tried the oil trick, i destroyed a few driver bits in the process too.

 

in the end i had to drill through the screw, there was no other way.

Thanks guys for your advice. Yes they are screws. I went to the watch repair shop just now and got the links out.

Phew...thank goodness.

so... were you trying to push screws out thinking they were pins?

 

ive done the opposite on faux screw pins.

 

i sat there with my screwdriver for a good 10 mins before i realized they were pins
