Thank you for taking the time to explain the pins, the orientation, and where things go. Very concice and easy to follow. My new Casio fits like a dream now.

Thanks so much. Even three years after you made this, you’re helping us. Just what I needed!

thank you so much for this video! 3 years later and it is still very helpful, this video in particular actually briefly explained the mechanisms in how the band worked, and also explained the reason for the arrows. thank you for the practical and educational video!

I have not sized a bracelet with pins before so thanks for the tutorial. You make it look easy (but I know it could be a challenge).

Hello and thank you for showing me a video of how easy it is to remove some links in a watch. I especially found the explanation of the direction of removing and reinserting the split pin design really helpful. Without seeing this, I would simply have forced them back in the wrong way round. Also your 'zoom-in' so we could see the little holes was really clear. Thanks once again

Thank you for your tutorial video. Very helpful. Currently I am resizing my strap and honestly I struggle to fit it back in. Luckily I managed to get hold of your video at the right moment.

Thank you! I had no idea how to do it, this video is way better than many others about the same topic.

Helpful video. Having the blue block makes things much easier. I just spent way too long on my Seiko pin and collar sizing it

A first-rate video showing precisely how to size a split-pin bracelet. Rob, your videos on how to change straps and size bracelets of different kinds are really helpful. Could you do one on how to change from a strap to a bracelet? Attaching a bracelet seems much more difficult than attaching a strap, especially bracelets with curved end-links Thank you for these videos.

This was really helpful! After watching this, it took only five minutes to adjust my most recent split pin bracelet. It gave me a new appreciation for them.

just done my TAG using your video, worked a treat Thanks Warren UK

You just made my day. thank you so much for the assistance.

Split pins are the best, never have to worry about losing a collar, I actually just sized 2 watches today, one pin and collar, and one split pin.. I didn’t even have to tap the pins in with pin tool and mallet, just gently hammered the pin flush to link, then push the pin in the rest of the way with just the pin tool and my hand. Done!

Thank you so much ❤ just got my new patek and wanted to self adjust and was so confused by the pins? I didnt want to touch/damage my watch band so ive been searching youtube, thank god i found this video. Bless you 🙏 Noticed the arrows straight away , very lucky 😅

Amazing, now I can finally wear my favorite watch

I used pin for phones to change card and then screwdriver as a hummer, it Worked!!! 😍

Thanks for the video! While I didn't do it, it made me understand the tools required (which I don't have)

Wonderful video with nice voiceover! Thank you!

THANK YOU!!!!! I bought a Relic had no idea how to size it. The web site gave no instructions…you saved the day….awesome video, I never saw the arrows until you should them , no one else mentioned that in their video…saved my watch..yeah

This is a perfect tutorial 👌 thank you. You saved me £20 👍

Somehow I know why I love throwing my watches on Nato straps. This fiddling around may be fun. But even putting my Orient Mako 1 back on its original bracelet drove me nuts. This bracelet is even cheaper looking than the ones you have shown here.

Broooo, You made my day 😭😭

Just what I needed. Not verbose. Just the best way to do the job. Thanks

This tutorial was very helpful. It looks easy enough! The store where I got my split pin bracelet watch made it look so intimidating.

Great video exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Such a useful explanation - thanks

Your video was very helpful for me and my Timex.

Most Amazon kits some with a screw press that I love because the base of it screws in and out to act as a solid platform for the bracelet to rest on.

Thank you for the video. I have a small project I'm working on and it looks like these split pins will be exactly what I need. Can you tell me why they're only supposed to go into the links in one specific direction? Is it something to do with the hole in the link? If so then it makes me wonder, would a split pin work in a regular cylindrical hole, or is there something special with the hole that works in tandem with the split pin?

I love split pins. Easy to size and no chance of screws coming loose.

Thank you!!! Fabulous instructions ❤

Good video, may i ask you what kind of watch (brand and model) is the one that is laying on your green board they look fabulous!

Thanks for the video, I unfortunately tried to replace a split pin with a spring pin which increased the bore holes, now the split pins slips through. Is there possibly pins that are thicker to sort this? Thanks

Soo helpful Thank you 😍 I was really confused

Well explained and demonstrated!

Fantastic! Yesterday i used an extended amount of time to find out to put the pins back in, but I couldn't find the answer. You delivered the answer clearly and with background explanation, while the video also made it clear. Great! Thank you.

Thanks for the video. Really Helpful ❤

They just won’t come out

Perfect. Best vid on this. Thanks

Just saved me a trip to the jewelers to get my wife's new timex watch sized. Thank you, Rob!

Nice one Rob, Jeff needs to see this vid.

Very helpful, keep it up bro ❤

Thanks you so much for the tutorial,it's help me so much, thanks again

Thank you. That was very helpful!

Thank you very much mate

Woohoo. IT WORKED! Thanks!

Hey Rob, what model is the Casio Edifice that you show in your video?

Great! I think I think this is the system I have on a Seiko 5 with a jubilee style bracelet. Definitely need to get some quality tools. Thanks!

Bless U bro, thank for tutorial! ❤❤

I lost pin and collar on my Seiko and used a Split pin which I opened up a bit for friction, so far it’s holding, should I trust it to stay in the chain, I daily shake my watch chain to try detect the pin falling out, so far it’s staying in.

Unrelated but did you ever test the water resistance of the khaki field king 2?

What is the second watch up from the one you are working on? Matte stainless finish with a blue face.

thank you so much sir.I fixed my problem

Thank you brother you are the best iam very happy😊❤

Got a Swiss Army Victorinox that needs resizing, it's NOT folded link, however there are no arrows or any other type of marking for that matter to indicate the direction to push the pins out... Any ideas?

Rolls came off the pin every time, put the roll back on with some difficulty and now it refuses to go back in the hole on the opposite side, the pin goes in but the roll just sits on the outside and refuses to go in on my Casion Lineage, not sure what to do I think hammering on it will just flare it, definitely not so easy on this watch.

Thanks for the assistance

I have a question : if i want to enlarge the stainless steel strap, but i don't have the links, can i use links from other strap ?

I got myself the Bergeon 7767-F and tried to remove the split pins from my Orient Kamasu, but they won't budge. I don't have this cube - could it solve the problem? I am pressing down like crazy to no avail.

Thank you, informative.

I loved this watch do u recommend

Thank you so so much. Life saver.🙏🙏

Thank you.What is the size of pins for men's citizen ecodrive.

Thank you so much for this video

Thank you !

Hello Rob, you said something about getting the tools " at your harbour for free". Im not sure if i got that right ist it correct and what did you mean by that ?

Prefect. Thank you

Thanks! 🎉

Does it really matter all that much which direction you put the pin in?

silly question but if you need to remove two sections should you remove 1 each side

Hi there!! I just got a new watch. I pushed the pin out in the wrong direction by accident, and now it's super stuck. It won't go back in, and won't come out. What can I do to resolve this? Should I hammer it back out?

Thanks a lot!

beautiful

Thank you soooooooooo much

Thanks you very much! :)

Thanks ❤

Thanks!

Thanks so much for this! Just adjusted my husband’s watch using your clear instructions. 😊

Thanks for this.

Thanks for the vid 😊

Ty , if it was not for your video i may had lost my watch, i did not realize the pins that i put back in were not safely held

Thanks and subscribed!

Thanks for the video

Not first. But catching up now man. 👍🏻👍🏻

I have a question I bought an Invicta watch and ordered a link removal kit from amazon now when I went to take the link out of the band I got the first one out no problem when I went for the second link (I didn't notice the arrows) and started moving the link in the wrong direction and the link is now half in and half out in stuck mode and me being forceful I pulled it out and the link broke and now the link is stuck I tired to use the tool you showed trying to tap the remaining part of the link back into band and now the pin part of the tool also broke off in the band how can I fix this now mind you this is on the link that I don't need but in the future if I wanna sell my watch how will someone be able to add links if need be can anyone help thanks in advance

Thank you

Thank you very much

Nice video!

Very helpful

Dear if the wrist size is 7 inches. How many pieces will we remove from the bracelet? Item type Seiko SAR X57

@1:38 On my fossil watch there are arrows on the links instead of pointing out for one side there are arrows pointing out words on both sides of each link like so. ⬅️ Middle of the link➡️ how do I remove the pins on that?

my watch doesnt have arrows . how am i gonna do this

Hi sir on what way i must push the pin out, Is that where the arrow is pointing or the oppositr of that? Thank u.

I'm do'in it. Thanks!

I just removed one of these and the two pieces came apart. That made it way more difficult to get back together.

i pushed it to the opposite side and it wouldn't come out and didn't knkw why,now i do,so im going to push it back in when i find my hammer and get it back in and push it the other way, there's no arrow and i thought i needed a screwdriver so i was trying to screw it out for about 20 min, i did the first side and the second side got stuck and then i found your video

Thank you sir

Thanks

Is there a source for split pins? I have a Seiko with split pins and the pin fell out and I need a new one to repair. I cannot locate the old links unfortunately.

Hi Rob, when taking out 3 links, which side taking out 2 of them is better balance for the bracelet fit?
