This is why the internet can be truly amazing. I have to adjust my Pagani Pepsi, and I thought, "I wonder if there's a video on how to move this pin?" And here it is. Thanks for this.
There is a small gap in the side of the half link. Look for that and then work in the floss so it is right around the springbar and pull it into the gap and it will release. This is the easy way to do this and anyone can do it. Thanks for posting the video!
Thank you, I've been struggling with my Pagani GMT, it's a tad too lose, if I take one more of the jubilee links out it's a little too tight, I played with that micro-adjust pin for like 30 minutes last night and just thought "this is how I have to wear this watch I guess". this is genius and I never would have thought of it. Also, if anyone has issues with their floss not being strong enough, or something like that, I used one of the internal strands of a piece of 550 cord, worked like a charm
I've been wearing my PD Batman for a week a little loose. Then I got ambitious and tried this. It fits perfect now! Thank you for this video...you're brilliant 👏🏽🤙🏽
I spent like 30 mins trying to adjust the bracelet but I didn't have the right tools, with your tutorial this went smooth and easy, now the watch fits perfect! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! Even though I am fairly experienced, I tried and failed for over an hour with different tools. Then I saw your video and it took me less than a minute to succeed! Congrats! Your thinking outside the box was remarkable and will help many people. Thank you again!
I was frustrated before I watched this video. My pagani watch just wouldn’t sit on my wrist properly and it needed two micro adjustments that I couldn’t do using the spring bar. And then I watched this trick. Voila! I’m finally happy with the watch. The clasp has become a bit wobbly though but it hasn’t broken. I hope it stays intact and I’m able to finally wear my watch which was in the watch box since I ordered. Thank you very much.
Such a good tip. I couldn’t get it with the spring bar tools but this worked like a charm. As a tip- try to pull the floss in a contained area as the spring bar might come flying out
Thank you for posting this video. I just received my Pagani PD 1733 I just couldn't get the micro adjustment pin out with a little forked tool. I can't wait to try this it looks like the answer.
Thank you for your video! I have struggled with a spring bar removal tool from my watch repair kit, with no luck. I managed to take the spring bar off with a precision 0.8mm pentalobe screwdriver from my smartphone repair kit. It was a matter of a second.
If you fold the diver's extension back, there is a gap in one side to allow a spring bar tool or micro screwdriver in to remove the pin. I initially tried the floss and it just broke.
I think your floss is stronger than mine! I managed it in the end with a tiny screwdriver. Beware though, the spring in my bar was so tight that the little pin went flying across the room and it was only by sheer good fortune it bounced off the wall and landed back on my table! Thanks though - saved me £30 changing my Pagani Submariner and Daytona
If you open the quick adjustment, which is found on part of the band opposite of the clasp, then you will see a slot where you can easily adjust the micro-adjust. To open the quick-adjust, you press the last link of the band from the outside and it will uncouple, giving about 1/2 a link extra length to the band. Mine was very stiff, so it took quite a bit of force to unclip and reclip.
I watched your great video and imitated it and succeeded after two attempts (it was a strong pull and the floss was broken, but I was lucky to pull it slowly and gently). I'm sorry for the delicate finish of the Pagani design. Because people who love watches are usually ‘very’ delicate. This was a very annoying task because Pagani did not consider the user's convenience.
I was about to try a strong razor blade, but this is genius. Updating my comment the next day: I only had that wide floss. Thought about using strong thread but instead went for my razor blade idea. Looked carefully under a loupe and it worked in seconds. Annoyingly, looking at the similar mechanism on the hinge side of the clasp, I could see Pagani used a different pin. Not quite a standard pin with a collar that a tool could easily fit, but it had slight collar indentions. Out of curiosity I got a small pin tool and was able to disengage it fairly easily. I wonder why they didn’t use this same pin on the micro adjust side???
For those wondering why the pin won't compress. You were pressing the wrong pin shoulder. The real pin shoulder is all the way up, almost touching the clasp wall. I barely could get in-between the pin shoulder and the clasp wall, with the screwdriver that came in the box.
Got a watch with a Jubilee Bracelet from AliExpress and it had the same mechanism. This video was exactly what I needed. Wonder what the official method is 🤔
In the video, it's not clear where exactly the floss contacts the springbar. However, I got it close the the end, gave it a yank, and the springbar released! So, it worked... even if I'm not precisely sure how. Thanks for this!
@@lestersmerling1397 Not sure what you mean by half link. This is about the micro-adjust small springbars. You have to try a few times with different floss positions.
I couldn't either, but I was able to get a screwdriver into the cut-out in the extender link that you can see at 0:33. When the extender link is locked, the cut-out isn't fully expose like that, so you'll need to wedge a small screwdriver between the underside of the clasp and the top surface of the bracelet. Once you get the spring bar out, you may need to fix the notch on the extender link. You can see this notch at 0:49. The notch on my extender link had "lips" on both sides which prevented the spring bar from being pulled out of the notch. It appears that Pagani assembled the extender link to the clasp in the locked position without ever checking if it could be unlocked. What I did to fix my extender link is to file down the clasp-side of the notch so that spring bar could actually be pushed down into the notch.
I tried and tried with a small screwdriver, and got nowhere. Then I watched this video. It took about 10 seconds to pop the micro adjustment pin out with dental floss. Yay!
Just adjusted it with a regular tool on mine. Took a magnifier as to see that I was pushing the ring/edge on the side of the case of the watch and it all went ok in 10 seconds flat. Just be careful and be ready to catch the springbar.
I did find a string strong enough for the job instead of a dental floss. First time went super smooth. Popped out immediately. Then I happily plugged the buckle back just to realize that it was upside down 🤦♂ Second time it was a little hustle, but in the end after 10 minutes of swearing it all worked out. thnx.
@@Unlucky1776 Second time mine went real hard, but worked. On the other watch it didn't work at all, so I got mad and managed to take it out with a tool that you use to take out pins when you change straps. Couple tiny scratches, I don't care. No one will see them anyway ))
@@smashexentertainment676 lucky! I have the jubilee version which the micro adjust is slightly different. You can only take out the spring bar thing on 1 side and I put that side down by accident so now it’s basically junk
It is quite a mystery to use floss; Depending on the individual differences, some of them can be made by removing the spring rod or using a flat-blade screwdriver. If there is only one side to remove it, is it originally made only to remove it, not to fine-tune it, and is it a remnant of the misappropriation of the previous work that has four holes?(Because it cannot be inserted from the outside) The Rolex GMT Master 2 doesn't have a hole on the outside, but does it slip the same way?Lol "I removed all frames in the initial state, and the frame that could be stored in the clasp was released, and it felt like it was hard to open and close, so I wanted to fine-tune it, so I finally made it with a floss, but the pin was broken.One flew away, and the spring flew away.I had a hard time finding it. "So I got annoyed, so I put it in the fourth innermost part, not just one."So, I increased the number of three frames, and just settled down in a clasp storage state, and relaxed by releasing them, is that correct?Lol It's dangerous if you mess with it badly. I don't want to mess with it anymore. The release state is to loosen, so regardless of the position of fine adjustment, it is more correct than loosening and closing in the first release state, right? Actually, I want to try it in all positions.
The pagani clasp quick link is anything but. I've struggled for ages and ended up with a scratched bracelet. The micro adust needed a screw driver to lever it open and now won't close, t's far too tight. I feel like chucking this junk in the bin.
Woe, OK, you got me. When I saw this video I thought GREAT so that how you do it. 2 hours and yards of floss later I resigned to the fact that it is not as easy as it looks, in fact I don't believe it works. The video does not show it working, it shows a video shot changing to the clasp pin dropping but not undoing. So in short, open and fold out the clasps mini extender to reveal pin and at one end a tiny gap to allow access to the pin end ... and then do what you've always done ... attack it with a mini pen knife tip end and it will release easily. Forget the floss !
Fantastic, but I had to slow down the speed of the video to understand how it worked, it took me 20 seconds to do it and without scratching anything with tools such as blades or screwdrivers. THANK YOU.
@@TimelapseComplexity I actually got it! Took a lot of patience and fidgeting. But once the spring popped back, it came off! Thank you for your help on the video!!
I had the same issue. See that notch running down the half-link at 0:49? The spring bar is supposed to snap into that notch when the half link folds over on itself. See how the notch gently slopes down on one edge (clasp-side) while the other edge (bracelet-side) has more of a lip? That lip is supposed to lock the pin into the notch, but on mine, both sides of the notch had a lip which prevented the spring pin from being pulled out of the notch. IOW, the gap between the two edges of notch were narrower than the diameter of the pin. Whoever assembled the clasp did so by inserting the spring pin into the notch while the half-link was folded over, effectively locking the half-link that way permanently. Pagani apparently doesn't do any QC to ensure that the half-link can open up. I was able to remove the spring bar by pushing a small screwdriver into the cut-out on one side link that you can see at top end of the spring bar at 0:31. Obviously, that cut-out won't be exposed like this while the half link is folded over on itself, but there is just enough of a gap between the clasp and the bracelet links on the top side of the bracelet to get to this little cut-out. Once I got the spring bar off, I used a file to grind down the lip on the clasp-side of the notch. Now, I can shorten and lock the bracelet or unlock and extend the bracelet exactly as it was intended to work.
Glide lock? Glide must be an old Chinese word meaning stupid design and difficult to operate. I finally got it w the dental floss (thanks for the info) but man is this a goofy clasp.

Took me a couple tries, but go there in the end. Thanks for this very useful video!
Thanks so much dude, even tho the spring flew across my room it worked =D
Glad I could help! Cheers!
Thanks for posting - it really works, great hack! Incidentally, you can also use floss to clean beneath the rotating bezel 👍🏼
Works in your teeth to 😂
Great video! I was wondering how to adjust the bracelet. Saved me a bunch of time.
This was so helpful. Been trying with different tools for an hour or so and could not get it out before this
single strand of the hang tag also does the trick - and makes the hang tag useful...
Ingenious method for getting that stubborn little pin out. Thanks very much.
Absolutely brilliant - it worked! Thank you!
All I can say is thank you. I was baffled until I came across this video. Every other micro adjust video shows the one which requires a pin hole.
I had to resort to my tried and true method of a razor. Razors also help push the spring pin down when you reassemble things...
An Xacto knife blade will work as well, possibly a little safer too.
Very resourceful. Good job. Now I know how to adjust mine as well.

Thanks for this tips, I manage to adjust my pagani ranger
Been working on that spring bar for nearly 20 mins before looking on RUclips. Then the entire adjustment took less than 5 mins :-)
There’s gotta be a replacement clasp with on the fly micro-adjustment that fits the PD 1701 bracelet.
If you fold the diver's extension back, there is a gap in one side to allow a spring bar tool or micro screwdriver in to remove the pin. I initially tried the floss and it just broke.
There is nothing to grab the pin though...
You are indeed a God sent genius ! All it takes is 2 Sec to get the pin off
Not all hero's wear capes!! Thank you!!
This helped a lot, thank you!
Omg thank you. I bent the spring bar too much to use a spring bar tool. I'm going to share this.
You're a fuc**ng genius! Thanks a lot man
Thanks man!
1.4 Billion people and this is the best micro solution they can come up with? Beyond brutal
