crystalcranium Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Pins not screws. Should I take it to a jeweler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 This has been answered at least 500 times. But let's do it again: You need to push the pins out a bit with jeweler's screwdriver or some kind of thick needle (use a small hammer to hit the screwdriver/needle)... and then use pliers to pull the pins out. In the backside of your Speedy bracelet you should find small arrows pointing at the direction of the pins (and what direction you should push them). Detach the link and then use the hammer again to push the pins in. Don't force it or you might damage the pin. If the pin is in correct spot (going to the holes) you don't need to hit them hard. It's very easy and you'd better learn to do it yourself (if you purchase more watches in the future). You can also buy a bracelet pin tool if you want but personally I have never needed one. Works well with "home tools" as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystalcranium Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Actually, I have it wrong, or do I. It looks like there are tiny screw slots on the heads of the pins. The bracelet does have directional arrows for removal of pins. Are these real screws? They are soooo small. It's one of Josh"s Omega Moonies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalcranium Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 OK, Got it. Tapped on the recessed end of the pins a bit and they started to come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
