STEP ONE: LOCATE THE RESIZING TOOL


Locate your resizing tool, located to the right of the watch cushion.

Once ready, turn the silver nozzle counterclockwise to open the vise, creating a space for your watch to sit securely while removing the pins.

STEP TWO: IDENTIFY THE NUMBER OF LINKS TO REMOVE

With the original size watch on your wrist, pinch the band together to gauge how tight or loose you want it to be.

In the example above, we're removing four links for a custom fit.

STEP THREE: REMOVE THE LINKS

Identify the correct direction to push the pin. Place the watch flat, with the back facing you.

You must push from the holes on the right side of the watch band, so that the slotted end comes out first.

Reversing the direction can damage the band and require professional repair.

STEP FOUR: REMOVE THE LINKS

Place the watch in the vise, aligning the resizing tool's pin with the link hole to meet the "flush" side.

Turn the nozzle clockwise to push the pin as far as it will go. Some resistance is normal—continue until the pin is completely free.

STEP FIVE: REMOVE THE LINKS

Once the pin has been pushed in as far as it will go, use your fingers to remove the rest of the pin.

Set the pin aside for reassembly.

STEP SIX: RECONNECT THE LINKS

To reconnect, align the strips precisely. If aligned correctly, you should be able to see directly through the gap in the link.

STEP SEVEN: SECURE THE LINKS IN PLACE

Replace the band in the vise with the "split end" aligned with the resizing tool.

Continue turning the nozzle clockwise to push the pin flush with the edge of the band.

Keep in mind that resistance is normal; this ensures a secure reconnection.
