ToothDoc Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 What is the best way to remove the links on an omega po without going to a watchsmith? any suggestions? i really dont want to damage the bracelet so any help would really be appreciated. thanks Dustin
cwai02 Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 I suggest you to find a local watchsmith to do it for you.
Bignasty Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 I suggest you to find a local watchsmith to do it for you. It can be done with the proper tools at home but if you don't have a pin pusher tool then don't try. You'll bend or worse break the pins and be screwed if you ever sell the watch! Jon
ToothDoc Posted July 7, 2006 Author Report Posted July 7, 2006 I wrote this in another section but ill place it here again. i did go in to a local watchsmith and he removed the link for me with alot of swearing and cussing. it took him about ten minutes to replace the link and he bent the crap out of the pin he removed. It was quite the comedy. he probably realized it was a rep and i know he wanted to kill me for wasting ten minutes of his life but damn it looks nice. Thanks for the advice, i probably would have beat the crap out of the watch if i had tried it myself. Dustin
Tribal Posted July 7, 2006 Report Posted July 7, 2006 Hello, on the Po links the pin has no gap...... You can take a small watchsmith srewdriver... Push with a littlebit force.... Note there is a small tube in the Links.... Hope this helps..... RG Tribal
ToothDoc Posted July 8, 2006 Author Report Posted July 8, 2006 Thanks for the replies, they do help. I am just glad it was the old man cussin and not me. maybe on my next omega purchase i will try this myself so i can live the life of this old man struggling and i will get my wife out there nagging at me so i can relive that experience. i will probably end up sleeping on the couch though so maybe i will just take it back to the watchsmith so he can sleep on the couch insted. Thanks for the help guys. Dustin
Guest Watchandpen Posted July 16, 2006 Report Posted July 16, 2006 The pins on these are absolutely crap. I used a pin-removal tool and ended up bending one pin completely out of shape and beaking the other in two (at the joint). My watch repairer inserted a solid metal pin and ground out one (protruding end) which scratched that side of the affected link. Happily, as I give him so much work and buy lots of stuff from him - or maybe because of the damage caused (which I can live with) - he didn't charge. Why don't they make these bracelets with screws (gens and reps)??
fitmic Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 You guys are talking about the Swiss PO, right? Because I have the Asian one, and I removed the links with an ordinary 1 mm screw driver. Simple as that!
cdnbear Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 Where can one find extra Plant Ocean links? I have a 4th Gen PO that needs three extra links.
