Resizing a watch bracelet (Christopher Ward Trident Pro 600)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 дек 2018
- Watch me resize a watch bracelet by removing the bracelet and a couple links from a Christopher Ward Trident Pro 600. Funnily enough this watch had two different spring bars, which gave me more to talk about! This bracelet uses friction pins, so this process applies to other bracelets that use similar pins. The tool I use for the spring bars is a Bergeon 6767-F. I recommend buying the 6767-S tool (for straps) and also get the 6767-F head (for bracelets). #watchbracelet #watchrepair #watchtools

Thanks for posting this! I just used it to resize my C60 Sapphire Black bracelet and felt a lot better being able to follow along with you!
glad you found it helpful :)
Me too, same watch, just now LOL
Thank you. This helped me resize my sealander.
cool. glad it still provides some help.
I kept thinking "OMG get on with it already Dr. Repeato!!!"
thankfully there is a forward button...
Super helpful thanks.
glad you found it helpful :)
Thank you for the video I got a Christopher ward today 👍🏼👊🏼
cool. hope you like it.
@@WatchComplications yeah love it so far I just finished the resizing I’m glad it wasn’t complicated thank you again 👍🏼
Thank you sir!
Glad you found it helpful.
Thanks for the video! But truly this is a pain. Screw pins on my Sinn are so easy to use.
I have screw pins on my GS and it is certainly easier. Any system has pros and cons. For example, screws can more easily loosen and fall out than collar pins.
@@WatchComplications totally agree with you. I don't know anything about watches nor I want to know. This is not something for me. Because of the virus I had nothing to do so bought a few cheap watches. And just sharing my opinions. Anyways. Thanks for your video!))
Watching this video was painful could have been done in half the time if there wasn't so much waffle 😴

Thanks this helped alot
Great video thanks for sharing, what is the model reference of the link removal tool you are using please? I can't find one that comes with the extra long punch needle? Thanks
Ofrei has the tool I used, plus some others, and the longer pins: www.ofrei.com/page237.html#3108
Very helpful but any need to repeat yourself 4 times for every stage?
What if the watch doesn’t have arrows
This one doesn't have arrows. If it's a pin and collar system like this, it doesn't matter what direction you push the pin out, you can go either way.
Christopher Ward bracelets are among the most difficult on the market to adjust. I have adjusted many watch bracelets from many different watch manufacturers and Christopher Ward are the absolute worst (especially their titanium bracelets). I would place their build quality beneath that of Citizen. If you do buy a watch from them, pay Christopher Ward the $5 to adjust the bracelet - it will save you the time and aggravation. And then get ready to pay a hefty customs fee to reimburse DHL if you live in the USA and order a Christopher Ward watch from the UK.
Well the video is a little old, nowadays CW has the quick release bracelet, so that makes things easier. Then it’s just a matter of having the right tools for removing the pins and replacing them. I adjusted one just the other day in less than five minutes, much faster and less risky than screw links. I like the pin and collar much more than screw links. No issues with adhesive, mucking up screws, or them working loose with time and wear.
As for customs, that’s not a CW thing that’s a US thing. Any item imported over $800, expect to pay about 10% in duty. That would happen with any purchase from anywhere outside the US.
I understand the US customs issue, of course. But I’m happy to report that I don’t have to wrangle with adjusting the links in the titanium bracelet of my C63 Sealander Elite anymore. I’m sending it back to Christopher Ward. I was dismayed to discover that the seconds hand hacking mechanism works intermittently on my watch. And when manually winding the movement, a coarse grinding sound is audible. The stem wobbles, too. I’m terribly shocked, honestly. This movement received a COSC certification! How’s this possible? Thankfully, Christopher Ward has a 60 day return policy. I’ll request a refund.
that’s weird that hacking would work intermittently…the stop lever is not a component that has issues often. (See my video on how the hacking complication works, I use an SW210 as an example). Either way, CW does have a flexible return policy.
I think I bent mine :( one link was sticking out and it didnt look secure. What can I do?
depending on how bent you are talking maybe you can bend it back? roll it on a flat hard surface to see how and where it is bent, then maybe with gentle pliers or hammer get it back into shape. Other option is to get a new link and pin probably.
@@WatchComplications Thanks, will try. Hate these kind of links.
Thank you. Made it easy even with my clutzy hands
Glad you found it helpful!
I don't understand. This is 4 years old , but that's their new logo. Am I missing something 🤷🏻♂️
Good question actually. The Christopher Ward Enthusiast (CWE) facebook group's first bespoke build was this watch. And it was the very first watch to feature the Twin Flags at 12 (though I'd have to double check that with the C7 Rapide line around the same time), due to request, and it wasn't until quite some time after this moment that CW moved to this logo at 12 across the brand. This was an LE of 50.
hello where can i buy this tool?
thanks
Lots of places. Amazon, eBay, ofrei, esslinger. I'd have to go back and look, I think I got mine through Ofrei.

Does this bracelet have a divers extension?
No, just a micro-adjustment. CW has done some bracelets with a diver extension before I believe, but I'd have to look up what ones.
@@WatchComplications i have the trident c60 vintage old logo with the diver extension.. I wanted to buy another bracelet becuase they're on sale.. But i probably won't
this bracelet is a pain in the ass really just make it screw pins
it can be for sure. I can't recall if they changed the pins on the new version of the bracelet (MK3) or not. This is the MK2 bracelet.
@@WatchComplications they didnt
good to know!
@@f0o0rest indeed , still an almighty pain ...i found a tool with a pusher almost 20mm long , unless you push CW's pins through at least three quarters of the way your going to struggle to pull it out .
I've just sized a CW pin and collar bracelet, it's the first bracelet I've ever done, really easy..
Getting it back together is the trickier part and not that easy -.-
Neither is super easy, but you get used to it after a few times. :)
Just took my CW out of the box after like a year of not wearing it. Needed to remove one link and gave up in the end. One of the pins doesn't even want to go back in. Nobody should be using this stupid idiotic system. When done properly screws will not fall out and they are superior in every way.
when a pin doesn’t want to go in, it’s because the links aren’t lined up exactly.
