NOTE: On the Seiko Monster bracelet, the collar inserts into the outer link. On the modern 62Mas / MM200, the collar goes into the middle link as in your video. This difference was driving me nuts until I watched enough videos to see it both ways.

I very much appreciate your post. I quickly and successfully shortened the band on my Seiko watch. :)

This is 4 years late, but I just want to give you a hale and hearty thank you! You may have just saved my marriage. I got a Seiko Monster and lost two collars on the first attempt to resize. Holed up in my work area with the intensity of going into battle for round two. An even worse failure with bent pins. Ordered an entirely new bracelet and the S-936 tool. Thanks to you, I know exactly where the collar belongs. The drawing idea is great. You have a teacher's soul. Thanks!

That helped me a LOT! Thank you! And i enjoyed your calm way of explaining the process. Cheers!

Extremely helpful, THANK YOU! Collar drop in the carpet almost had me in tears. Our Shark vacuum with clear waste catch saved my bacon TWICE on this simple watch band resizing adventure.

Excellent excellent excellent tutorial. Bravo. If someone can’t do it with your explanation then they should not do it themselves

Great tutorial, this was the 5th video I found and the only one that proved useful. I appreciated the diagrams and explainations. Also having both pin/collar methods in the one video helped me identify the system I had. As a novice this was the most important revolution. I've now adjusted my watch bracelet myself, thank you!

Best explanation on KZfaq Thanks.

Just bought my Sarb035 today and this video saved me from losing it all!!! So thankful for your time in this video!

Hi, Mine was your second example. Difficult to find an example. Yes, it was stressful until I saw your video. Well done. You made my day. Wearing my Seiko BFK again. God bless you.

Thank you very much, lucky I was taking a link out, lost a collar. Trickier than I thought but got it done. Thanks for the guidance, cheers!

Thank you for the very clear instructions, brief and to the point.

That's a great video. If I can add one tip, I keep the plastic film that usually covers a new watch, on the dial etc. Then, when it comes to those last few hammer taps, when you need the pointy tool thing to make the pin sit just below the bracelet surface, I hammer through the plastic. Then, if it slips, you don't scratch your bracelet.

Great job! Thanks so much! Very helpful tutorial!

Really appreciate the pictures to see what actually is going on in there!

Really good video to understand pin & collar , thank you.

Nice video! I just received my first Seiko with pins/collars in the bracelet & it was very frustrating removing links & then finding out that 2 of the tiny collars had fallen out--I found 2 on the floor which saved the day. Don't know why Seiko changed a very tried and tested pin setup, but thanks for the video 🤓

Thanks dude. I was a bit perplexed how the collar fitted!

Excellent video. Big thanks

New subscriber , this video alone made me want to subscribe. Thank you again

Excellent video - I appreciate your attention to detail and very good explanation/guidance!

Great detailed explanation! Thank you

Great job now I know what to do

This was excellent thank you!

Excellent helpful video, many thanks👍

Wow bro THANK YOU so much you literally saved me,

First..... Thank you. Well done. Second.... Hopefully I’ll be able to always get watches with screw pins.

Thanks a lot. this is very detail video to let us know how to fix it. It can really make it easy. Thanks again.

Wow bro THANK YOU so much you literally saved me!!

Very excellent explanation! Thank you ~

Thank you, great video.

Toppest demo mate. Best job.🙋

Excellent! Thank you

Great drawings ! :)

Thanks for the video

I really love your video. You are very patient in explaining every detail. Where can I get the right magnifying glass to see the pin closeup? Thxs!!🙏 🧐

Hi does anybody know the reference number of the collars for spb143j1? I bought it second hand and there was a couple missing. I tried google it but couldn't find anything

Life saver

Superb explanation 👍 Where to get those replacement pins? They break easily.

On my citizen watch the collar is on the opposite side of the arrow.

Great video! I just wanted to point out one thing, at about 19:30. You might want to push the pin in so that you are pushing the collar into its seat, instead of pushing/hammering it out of its seat (and potentially bumping it against the outer lug with each hammer stroke). I could be wrong in this, but as far as I know, the collar only goes into one side of the center-lug, thereby giving it a seat in the center-lug.

Sarb owner here. At 22:28 on the opposite end of the micro adjust side of the clasp, the folding arm hinge attaches to a small H link endlink. Is there any possible way that you could check if this small H link also uses a normal pin and collar like the rest of the links do? I've been stuck for hours trying to put it back together (took it apart a long time ago trying a new clasp) and there is no place to rest the collar. The collar will simple go through either of the holes on the H link. Also, if you look at the holes of the H link endlink, they happen to be larger than the rest of the holes of the other links where the pin fits through which leads me to believe it's a different size but not sure. Is there any way you could check if a thicker pin and/or collar system is used on this H endlink? You are my last hope lol, been searching the forums for hours and can't find anything. I'm thinking it uses a thicker and/or shorter pin than the rest of the links or I'm not doing something right.

I need to take out a few links. One on each side. Do I need to take the clasp right off ? I want the watch to be even . Thanks .

Okay, my watch doesn't have arrows on it. It's pins appear same on both side. What do I do? It's a titan watch btw... From Calcutta Titan metal mechanicals NR90140SM01.

Guys - 12:14 for the dreaded pin and collar system. I am currently stuck with a Hamilton Jazzmaster bracelet. No arrows, collar in the middle, I can remove links but not put them back together. Very frustrating.

Good job (8

horrible system.. better get a new bracelet

Quite frankly, the best way to adjust these is to immediately order a replacement bracelet or strap. These are almost designed to be ridiculously complicated. Dumb!

What a stupid method. I am so sick of this pin and collar crap. Time for Seiko to step up their game in 2023

Talk too much. Boring!
