FIRST STEP: LOCATING THE RESIZING TOOL

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

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

STEP SECOND: IDENTIFY THE NUMBER OF LINKS TO REMOVE

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

In the example above, we remove 4 links for a custom fit.

THIRD STEP: REMOVING THE LINKS

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

You must push from the holes located on the right side of the watch strap, so that the split end comes out first.

Inverting the strap can damage it and may require professional repair.

STEP FOUR: REMOVE THE LINKS

Place the watch in the vise, aligning the pin of the resizing tool with the connecting hole to meet the "flush" side.

Turn the nozzle clockwise to push the pin in as far as it will go. Some resistance is normal – continue until the pin is fully released.

FIFTH STEP: 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 spindle aside for reassembly.

SIXTH STEP: RECONNECTING THE LINKS

To reconnect, align the tape precisely. If you align it correctly, you should be able to see directly through the gap in the connection.

STEP SEVENTH: SECURE THE LINKS IN PLACE

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

Continue rotating the nozzle clockwise to push the spindle flush with the edge of the strip.

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