diggs Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I received my ultimate PO from Joshua today and as it is my first rep I'm very impressed. It looks as good as the gen Explorer II I'm wearing and feels more realistic. I've looked at it through a magnifying glass and I can make myself think the Omega logo might be misaligned, or some of the hour markers, or the numerals, but I think it is mostly optical illusions. To me it's a great watch for what it costs. Can anyone help me with resizing the bracelet? I've done a search, but have only found that it is difficult.

deltatahoe Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 basically, there are pins holding the bracelet together that you need to push out to remove links from the bracelet. pushing them out (and of course getting them back in) is the hard part. if you don't have the right tools (ie. a pin pusher made for these purposes), take it to a local watchmaker -- shouldn't cost more than $10-15 (depending on the watchmaker of course). hope this helps.... deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_uk Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Or for the same money buy yourself a pin tool, which you can then use on future watches, I did hear that this particular watch is a [censored] to get the pins out of though so maybe you'd be better off leaving it to an expert this time, try not to take it to an Omega AD though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 May I suggest you take it to your local watch repairman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r11co Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Can anyone help me with resizing the bracelet? I've done a search, but have only found that it is difficult. Find By-Tor's review thread (above). Find the post where I show you a picture of the tool to use to remove the pins. Obtain one (less than $10 from ebay). Go for it. Without one of these tools you are seriously risking damaging your bracelet. If you are looking for short cuts there aren't any..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diggs Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Got it done today. Watch repair shop at the mall. $10. The first place I went, a mall kiosk couldn't do it. too hard. They both looked the watch over very close, but didn't ask the obvious question.

sam1174 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Take it to the experts! I had the right tool, and I still broke a pin and got it stuck inside the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
