You saved my life man. I push out the pin an a collar drops out. I enter in panic. Gladly I found your video and my Prospex have is inmy wrist with the correct size. Thanks

Great video. You saved my xxx. Thanks!

Thats brilliant thank you very helpful

Saved me so much frustration. Best vid on how to do this right

FINALLY, thank you for this! You're the only video I found that helped me realize what I was doing wrong, which was not putting the collar into the MIDDLE part of the link.

This video helped me size a new Orient Triton/Neptune bracelet. I used a tack hammer, spring bar punch, old fashioned wood screw (to hold the watch) and a little wooden coaster under the band where I needed support. Thanks for the clear and concise information.

Great video!

Definitely one of the best and most informative videos on sizing a pin and collar bracelet. I recently got a Sumo watch and the collar was on the outside or end of bracelet instead of middle link . Between your video and watching Mark from Long Island Watch on his video you both helped me tremendously on successfully accomplish this task. It’s actually easy to do and the key to doing this is extreme patience and the right tools. I had the right tools and I mustered up the patience lol 😂 and was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be 👍🏻. So thanks so much for your awesome how to video 😀👍🏻

I was sizing my Citizen after I had lost a few pounds. I didn’t know what the tiny collars that were in the bag holding the extra links the jeweler from whom I purchased the watch put back in the watch box. I took out another link and the collar fell out on the floor. I couldn’t figure out how to get it back in the watch band. I put the band together without the collars and the bracelet almost fell off my wrist. I took it to my local jeweler who fixed it for me. She explained that the collar went into the middle link in the bigger hole. It was only after she explained how pins and collars worked that I noticed the slightly larger hole on the middle links that were removed. It was obvious when I looked through a loop. I should have searched you tube but I had no idea what those tiny collars did. My jeweler charged me $15 with no charge for the lesson. I came across your video and it answered the question of what side to insert the pin into. Now I love the Citizen and appreciate the extra tooling it took to make the watch as elegant as it is. Definitely a step up from expansion pins and maybe a step down from screw links. I subscribed.

Thank you for solving this mystery. I ran into this when sizing my new Citizen metal bracelet. Very helpful video and explanation. I tried to figure this out for hours with no success until I saw your video. Thanks!

So satisfying to do it yourself. I actually like my watch more now than before. Thanks.

Thanks for your guidance brother!

Great explanation! Where the heck were you 5 hours ago?! I purchased a Calvin Klein Infinity, and it turns out it uses collars in one of the middle links. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

Awesome video, I was super confused with my new Seiko watch, never seen a collar like this before.

Thanks a lot great video help me a lot I fix my daughter movado watch got the same collar sistem .

Live saver! I was a bout to cry unitll I found your video. Thank you!

Thanks a ton for this video!!

Oh wow! Thanks for your comprehensive demonstration. I only knew the type where the collar goes at the end of the pin. I was able to put it back together correctly by inserting it in the "middle" of the link :)

Best video 👋👍

Great video of explaining this . I’m soon buying a Sumo and that has pin and collar as well. Not sure if I’ll try myself but at least I have the video as a reference 👍🏻

Helpful video. Thanks!

Thanks. I find myself wanting to oil each moving part : )

I’ve altered all my watches bracelets myself and i think the pin and collar is the most fiddly that I’ve had to do (KZfaq is a godsend) might be ok for watch enthusiasts/ watchmakers but for the average joe( me) there are simpler designs

Thanks so much for this very instructive video, man. 💯 Your video helped me successfully resize the bracelet on my new King Samurai 2020 “Save the Ocean” model with a minimum of frustration! 😁 Cheers! ⌚️🥃😎

Great tutorial! Highly appreciate it!

Thanks Great job I feel confident I can do this now.

Thanks!! Exactly what I needed 🙏🏻👍

Thank you for your video!! It helped me solved my problem!!

Thanks so much for this video.

Greetings, Thank you for this information. I’ve tried many times leading to frustration and eventually switching to another band. I have brought my watches to jewelers to get the fitting and most couldn’t get it right. They even bent the pin to secure it but that lasted a short time. When you have a 500.00 dollar watch that made me irritated. So with this thanks. I will do it now successfully. ☮️

I bought a nice Seiko turtle from JCPenney the other day. The Jeweler on staff did not understand this system and destroyed the bracelet in the process of adjusting. This has been a nightmare ever since as no one else has extra pins and collars that are proprietary to Seiko. I'm literally going to have to wait a month to have some delivered so that the bracelet can then be taken into a proper Jeweler or authorized dealer to get this repaired.

Best video on this topic. You seriously saved my life as I tried to do it by myself and started to panic. Question: Where can we get replacemet pins and collars? Do you have a source? Thank you

So now I'm confused. the pin ends up on the opposite side after you assembled it back?

That's interesting when I did my padi turtle bracelet I'm sure the collars went in the side of the links. Maybe it's different to yours which go in the center.

The pin should also be installed in the direction of the arrow.

As there anyone in the world who likes the pin and collar system? I never met one. I lost around 5 collars-from different bracelete no way to get one of these tiny tiny things from a watch dealer- and on every watch-model Seiko uses different pins an collars. A monster bracelet collar does not fit to a bracelet of a samurai or turtle. I own my SKX007 now since 9 years, there are simple push-pins used for the bracelet- I never had any problem with the bracelet.

I need to take out 2 links . Do I do 1 on each side ?

Very good video. Thank you! . (but why do you move your hands so often and quickly; it almost make me sick!)....but an instructive video!

Thanks for explaining this stupid archaic Seiko system grrrrrrr

I only want to shorten a Seiko watch band one time. Never again. Why do I need to buy fancy tools ?? My band has no holes or arrows ! Now what do I do ?

Should have been a 3 minute video.

This video is too complicated. No mention of where to buy the tool kit.

If you would not allow your hands to fly all over the picture, it would be a lot easier to follow. Otherwise, a very informative video.

Seiko ought to be ashamed putting this piece of shit pin and collar system....most screwed up thing I've ever seen....idiot company
