This guys voice seems like he’d be good on a radio in the 1940’s lol

It's great you can find joy/frustration in DIY projects like this. There is satisfaction in the thought process, attempt and (eventual) success. Me, I walked my Oceanus downtown to the little jewelry store and let the guy with experience and tools do it for a nominal fee. Makes me feel somehow diminished, but at least I know it was done right, and that brings me joy.

I was laughing as I listened to you and fixing my bracelet. You were really having a war there with your bracelet!

Nick, your a genius and a natural comedian. Thanks for the help and laughter.

Couple-a-things... Firstly, you should get a bracelet pin pusher - essentially a clamp with a pin. This will make the job easy. Alternatively, use a small hammer to gently tap the punch once it is lined up. Pushing the tool with your hands might be fine if you are Hercules, but generally not preferred. Second, folks need to know that there are different bands with different styles of pin arrangement. For example, the Seiko bracelets often have a pin and collar arrangement, with the collar (or tube as Seiko calls it) being half the size of a grain of rice. Lose that and the pin will go back in, but it will fall out at some terrible time. To generalize I suggest doing this over a tray or a sheet and removing the pin, then shake everything around and see if anything comes out. Jewelers screw this up too, so don't just assume they won't make a mistake. Ask them what kind of process they are going to follow.

I enjoyed listening to you while I sized my watch bracelet.

Love your narration. Consider voicing stories so you might read me to sleep.

This was helpful and your delivery is hilarious.

Most passive agressive vid on youtube! :D Love it

My dear boy you make each video a joy to watch.

Lol love it. We need more tutorials from this guy!

Boda Bing, boda boom! Ooooo there ya go!!!

Your commentary was spot on! I had the same frustration with my watch lmao.

Your voice is like an audio cartoon, I love it

I'm going to consider this video the inaugural kickoff of the Nick Shabazz series "I've got 99 problems and D2 isn't one." Great job as usual!

"I'm damn good" - Nick Shabazz 2016

LOOL I actually bought the same watch and same bracelet and was having SO much trouble attaching the lugs and then removing links that I started searching to see if I was doing something wrong and I find this haha!

I loved watching you. You're voice is amazing! Robert Dinero would kill for a voice like yours. Your captivating to listen to. A very witty guy😅 x

You have the voice of a horse racing announcer/broadcaster!

Hilarious how perplexed you became. Good job!

Dude, you're like a cartoon character! Super hilarious, but very helpful! Thanks for the video! I gave you a huge thumbs up!!

Spray silicone works well to lubricate bracelet links.

Thanks you helped. I was going to poke the little holes I thought I would break it.

Great vid and very informative

So helpful. Thanks for posting

Lol I thought it was Gilbert Gottfried doing this vid

Nice video,very informative many thanks.

Believe I purchased the same bracelet and I tried to fit those ends and said no way and took it to one of those kiosks in the mall. He used different size ends to make it fit, worth the extra money to save my old nerves. this new band looks better than that "rubber band" they sent with the watch. Nick, keep these informative, seeing you having a bitch of a time with these products too, and entertaining, seeing you having a bitch of a time, videos coming. ;-)

My god you are spirit animal thank you for the frog lube...

Wow. What great video. Fantastic

Thank you. Much appreciated.

I just bought watch yesterday. I’m not sure if I forgot or left to the store because I don’t know how to do this. Watch is for men and I asked the staff adjust it for me to make it smaller so he took 3 links and 2 pins left in a box. Is it right? Because I don’t wanna to go back to the store just to get the pin if ever save time. Thank you!

The lil hammer is nice for stubborn pins. Plus you dont bend the pusher that way

This guy is hilarious. KZfaq gold. 😃

The good news is that if it takes that much effort to remove the pins, the pins are not going to fall out by themselves. However I do agree with the other posters an recommend a small hammer to tap out the pin

I also had a crappy bracelet and it worked! :)

a great video in patience.

So funny! Thanks for showing me how to take apart my lige 20$ watch

Thank you, so much! It worked! Great video!

Nick, I'm laughing my ass off. I love your voice. You're funny man !!!!! Thank you for the content brother. Jason

informative and hilarious - two thumbs up!

I need to fix my bracelet because the goons at the ad took 4 links out of the same side rather than 2 off each side so it sits crooked

Great voice. Next tell us the back story...Nick's frustration in not finding the hole...

Legend - thanks Nick. Just had a Casio Edifice arrive today from Amazon. Was too big. Didn't have all the tools in my shed, but I made a holding too like yoursl by cutting a slot in a piece of wood, pushed the pin with a scriber, followed up by a drawing pin, then pulled it the rest of the way with a pair of long nose pliers. Worked a treat, watch fits perfect now. Cool accent too - where are you from?

Ye, the bloody pins that bend... and they send a few in the pack because they know they're going to bend, so you just end up bending a bunch of them 🤪. Great video anyways, it really helped me today.

Nice bracelet !

This just happened to me and I find this page, lets hope it's useful. 😂

Love this video. Informative and hysterical

Nice vid' cheers mate!

Looks like a Rolex Sea Dweller.

Nick: you were almost flummoxed.

I have the same problem with the same bracelet and gave up threw it in the garbage a used a silicone strap.

What to do if your chain link pins keep falling out ? Any advice or tips ?

The punch you were sent is meant to be used with the block and a small hammer so it doesn't bend. Having said that if I had to do this I would use a proper pin removal tool. 🤦‍♀

Lol I found one of these bracelets on Wish and it became a case of Wish I never bought it as the chintzy metal buckled under the slightest pressure, the deployment clasp I salvaged but the bracelet is in the bin hehe

Are these the same as "friction pins"?

Did he really lube that watch's bracelet lol

Ayyyyy, Dony.

i have SEIKO SSC019, can i replace it spring bar with the spring present in this kit ?

His accent is straight out of a gangster movie..

This guys voice is really funny.

Dude sounds like he’s from Minnesota 😂

I have the same watch and bracelet combo, the bracelet actually goes on very easy but you have to bend the spring bars or buy curved spring bars for the end links to fit properly on the watch. Yes the quality of the bracelet is suspect but it has lasted over a year of constant abuse so it can't be that bad.

Casio: When you've given up on life.

You were pushing the pin out the wrong way. The pins are split on one end and is bent over on the other. Obviously the end that is bent into the U is thicker. But you pushed the U through the link. You need to push on the split end. You can clearly see that if you pause at 3:06. You push the U end on the plastic matrix then after the pin falls you, you lift the bracelet and flip it over, showing us the split side. That means that the split end was sitting against the matrix and the U was pushed through.

I've got a new £500 citizen watch with same type bracelet

Hahahah I laughed the whole time, actually you reminded me of that weird roomate that chandler had when joey left to live by himself

What a beautiful bracelet 😂

What’s frog lube?

Dude, sounds like a very sad life experience living with this bracelet. Here is mt advice: How about putting on a vest full of pockets, grab a stick and TAKE A HIKE! You welk! SeYaaaaaaaa!

Gilbert Gottfrieds brother

Review by the joker?

I swear to god im going to go mad with people saying about the way the arrows face.. My watch has 2 arrows facing opposite ways, what way do I go!!!!

Helped me a lot.... after I stopped laughing, love your accent and attitude! Get a job on stage. Or perhaps voice overs for Family Guy.

You sound like a Dick Tracy villain.

Crappiest watch?? seems like the crappiest watch repairman are the right words LOL
