Thanks for all the comments on this upload. I took some of the main ones and used it to improve the instructions. New Improved How-To is now live ruclips.net/video/KvCXfFTJB0I/видео.html
for a lad who refers to himself as just a hobbyist you did a great job explaining link removal, thank you!
Hi Steve! Appreciate that, thanks for watching!
Agreed, thank you for the help!
Thank you, you helped understand my $8.99 Amazon purchase and remove the extra links on the watch my husband got me for Christmas 🎄. He was amazed with my expertise and I had to show him this video!
Glad I could help, appreciate you watching!
thanks for your help!! I resized my new watchband for my Apple Watch. My husband was even impressed!
That is awesome!
Thankful that you posted this 4 years ago...I borrowed my son's watch adjusting kit and this video helped me figure it out
Thats great to hear! Thanks for watching!
Believe it or not it was the “Rolex has screws not pushpins” that just helped me resize - thanks for adding that part!
I just finished resizing a watch bracelet, and had some difficult pins to push out, the sullution a drop of WD40 and it did the trick! 👍
Yep they can be tricky the pins sometimes. First I have heard of WD40 being used! But if it works!
This is the only video on youtube that shows excatly how to do this
Wow I didn’t know that! Well I’m glad it was useful!
Thank you for taking your time to make this video. I was able to take 3 links out of 2 different watches. Awesome!
wish I could've known this before I taped a pushpin to my desk and pushed the pins out a little bit, then pulled the pin the rest of the way out with a pair of slip joint pliers.
worked perfectly, but I'll do this next time.
Hey if it worked! they are really easy to damage the pins so well done for not bending or splitting them. Thanks for watching!
Thank You !!! Worked out like I was a jeweler! lol! I just ordered the device you used too. Thanks.
Glad I could help
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I got this tool but didn't know how to use it. Tthe shop would charged me US8 to USD9 for adjusting the strap! Now i got this tool and did it myself. (y)
Great thanks for letting me know!
You need to give yourself more credit this took me minutes to finish , great explanation thank you !!!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this! I would have been totally lost without it!
Glad I could help!
Thank you I recently purchased a Gunhild - Vegvisir Special Edition 2022 and had to size the band. you saved me a trip to jeweler
Thanks for letting me know Andrew! Glad it worked out!
I have 3 Invicta Angels and the first two I took in to be re-sized. On my 3rd one, I decided to see if I could just do it myself and save a trip to the jeweler and this just took a minute! Appreciate the video!
Thanks Rebecca, I made a much better new one a few months ago. Hopefully shows it a bit better.
Nice demo and that tool under $10 is a key element
for my patience & success !!! 🤣👍
Thanks for the clear and explicit instructions. You ve been really helpful. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Just bought a new Invicta, your video was perfect for me. Thanks
Glad it helped!
Very helpful! I did not understand the instructions that came with the device. Thank you!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching
You got instructions? Lol I got the tools and that's it!
I got a Kevin Hart replica Rolex. Has no arrows though. Pins came out daily easy & went back in with some aggressive tapping. Thank you for the video. Tired of overpaying jewelers to do something I learned from your video.
Hey Cris, glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching
@@CasualWatchReviews where can those pin pushing needles be bought?
Hi Cris, I have never seen them sold separately? You could look on www.esslinger.com but I’m sure it’s just easier to buy another one on Amazon,
What a great instructor mate. I've had my Invicta pro Diver, for so long now. I was thinking I'd never get to wear it. You have given me the confidence to buy a couple things. Tackle the job.
Thanks again

Glad to help. thanks for watching
Thank you, this was very easy to do with your instruction
Glad it helped, I made this a few months back now. I think with everyone being at home it has found a new life as people try and change their own links. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Hey that was top video much better than other ones that I’ve watched. Cheers again dude😀
Hey Michael! I also made a more updated version of this thats a little shorter. See what you think of that one! Thanks for watching!
This was extremely helpful! Thank you SO much!
Thanks Jack and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video but I got my dad a watch for his birthday, and he's been dying to put it on. Now he can so thank you very much cheers bud 👍
That’s great, thanks for letting me know!
well done, appreciate the macro shots especially!
Cheers Rick, I actually made an updated version of this with a lot more macro in it!
Thanks man😊
Love from India❤😊
My pleasure 😊
What do you do if there are no arrows on the links, can you push from either side or is there a rule
If there are no pins, and you can’t see a ‘split’ on one side then you may have a watch that uses collar and pins. Citizen often use that type. From my experience you can push from either side. If you can see the pin is split on one side and looks like a tiny screw head (but one you cant get a screwdriver in). Push from the OTHER side. Any doubt at all I would take it to a jeweler!
I am not sure which side I should push the pins out from
Can you see the arrow? Push in the direction of the arrow, or the side that does not look like a tiny screw head.
Thank you, I just got a couple of Invicta watches, and this video really helped, thank you…
This was helpful , thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I think I can do that!!!!! so I'm ordering a watch repair kit!!!!!!
Great tutorial brother. Thank you!
Hey Alex! Glad you liked it!
push pins are sometimes called cotter pins. I bought a set of several hundred various sizes from china for
Thats interesting, for some reason I thought ‘cotter pins’ were the straight pins that have those annoying tiny collars. Maybe because cotter sounds like collar 😂
Awesome. Thank you!
Cheers man bought my first watch, similar to this one just a BiDen watch. And was dreading figuring it out the link removal till I seen your video. Luckly my watch came with a little link remover
Glad it worked out thanks for letting me know!
Massive help cheers bud
Oh cool! Glad it was useful!
That tool I have 1 of those. What are those replacement pin removal drill bits called? I need to buy some. They break fairly easily...
Really helpful!
Thank you
Just got one from amazon and am super excited.
It cost way too much to remove links at the jewelry store😀
I made a much shorter and more in-depth version of this if you check the description. Updated this based on all the great comments I have received!
Good job mate.
Thanks! I made a newer shorter version also!
thank you so much 🙌
Thank you, you made it very easy‼️
Oh great! Glad it was useful!
Should have watched this video first got the exact same link removal tool removed the wrong thing and now I have to go timpsons tommrow lol first watch new to this bought this to save money for the next watches 😂
Thanks! Great video!
I used a Pushpin (thumb tac) and thumb pressure to remove links.. No other tools needed...
Very helpful video! I found the tool and changed it pretty quickly. I wasn't able to get the micro adjustment to work, though.
Glad it helped!
I just received a new metal watch that has no arrow marks on the insides of the links but I can tell where are the different ends, and therefore which end to push the pins out. Thank you.
Oh great glad it was useful!
Is that platform on the bottom that twists up meant to provide a more level and close table for the watch to rest on? It doesn’t go very far up…
I think thats what its for. But I never adjust it. I have updated this video recently, I think I have a closer shot of the pins
Does the 6 o’clock side need to be one less link then the 12 o’clock side?
Thank you!
Thank you. This helped a lot
Oh cool! I made an updated version of those video also if you want to see a few more bits updated!
Impossible on versus Versace watch
Order kaise kar sakte h isko
Thank you! Worked out well for my SEIKO!
Oh cool! Glad it worked out!
I received a "Longevity Award" Watch from my job, and I needed to take a link or two out for a good fit. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! It should be a lot easier to do next time now!
Thanks for the useful video. Two minor points please. Good to know in advance there are arrows indicating the direction to push the pin out. Also, would be good to clarify if all links in the chain can be removed or only certain ones...how do you know etc?
Hey, thanks for watching. Good question, basically if there is no arrow you can’t remove that specific link.
Thank you for this video! I adjusted my Invicta bracelet earlier today before seeing your video, and I also bent the tip of the bracelet tool while removing the first pin. I'm glad I'm not the only one to have trouble with those flimsy tools. I decided to switch to using the small hammer and pin driving tool because I felt like they gave me more control, and I was more successful. Tapping the pins back in took a lot of effort though, with lots of hammering before some of the pins were completely driven into the links. Has that ever been an issue with you? My only concern is that I'm not experienced with metal bracelets, and I'm afraid of the pins falling out or failing in some other way after my installation. I'm interested in knowing if that's ever happened with you, and if you have any way of being certain that your pins will stay tight in the holes.
Hi Daniel, it sounds like this was a lot more effort than is should have been, are you sure you were not trying to push the pin in for the way it came out. you push them out from the side with the arrow but back in the other way round. They should easily go back in. I have never had this type of pin fall back out. some screws I have but not these ones.
I also had some problems putting the pins back until I realized that the pins on my Invicta have heads. In other words one end of the pin is narrower than the other end. That's only visible when using a magnifying glass. Then I simply pushed them with my hand (narrower end going first) and fully seated them using the tool illustrated on the video.
I can get the pin back in
Easy to do after watching this, took me 2 minutes on 1st attempt
Glad it was useful!
Big help , thank you!
what is the size of your wrist? Just to know how many of them I need to take off before I buy my pro diver.
Hey, my wrist is 7.2 inch
Luckily I had a watch repair kit on hand. Now my Blue Abolone Grand Diver fits perfect! I don't care what anyone says this is a gorgeous reliable watch! =) Thank you for the upload!
Thanks for the video!
How you get it to close back? Mines won’t snap back
Hey Tre, what are you having an issue with, getting the pin back in? I made a more up to date video, linked in the description of this one that shows the pins better.
Thanks!
I recently updated this video here ruclips.net/video/KvCXfFTJB0I/видео.html thanks for watching
Thank you so much! It helps a lot! 😻😻😻
Glad it helped, thanks for watching!
Excellent thank you mate😎🤙
Glad it worked out! Thanks for watching
Thank you. Very helpful. Ater spending 15m trying ever-smalled screwdrivers on the split pin, the pin pushers worked better (LOL). Man-oh-man a couple of the pins were stuck. Good thing I had spare pin pushers on hand; bent one and another was incapable. Third one, a tough little metal one like yours, worked. Anyway thank you.
Glad it worked out in the end! Thanks for letting us know!
I bought the exact same tool on Amazon bought two for $10. I have an Invicta 32503.
Did you manage to use them and adjust the bracelete?
still don't get it
what if the pin bends? mine bent and now i cant get it out?
Hi, I updated this video showing the pins better. But you shouldn’t need to apply that much pressure causing the pins to bend, you may have pushed them back in the wrong direction. Here is a shorter and more in-depth updated video I did. Easily Resize INVICTA Pro Diver Bracelet (2022 Version)

thanks
Explicit and helpfull 👍
My watch strap doesn't have either of these! No pin, no screws... I don't know how to remove it!😥
What watch is it maybe I can tell from a picture? Maybe join the facebook group and post on there?
Very helpful thank you so much.
Glad it was useful! Thanks for watching!
This worked thanks!
Glad it helped!
My pins keep breaking. I am using the tool recommended. What am I doing wrong?
Are they breaking going back in? I'm actually going to make a newer version of this video to show the process a bit better.
@@CasualWatchReviews
The pins used to push out the pin links are what is breaking. I purchased the tool you recommended. But the pins in the watch band would not budge. Rather the pins that come with the tool would bend and or break.
To help with time, and all his “um”s and pauses, increase playback speed to 1.5x. You’re welcome. 🙂 Other than that, useful information, so thanks to the person who uploaded this. 😉
Hi David, thanks for the support.
The Casual Watch Reviewer, thanks for uploading the video. I can adjust the bands on my Seiko diver watch, and I’m going to try this with the tools that I have. If it’s too hard, I’ll just bring it to a jeweler when they open in a year or two because of this damn virus. LOL!
Hi David, yes if your worried then wait till you see a jeweller, maybe put it on a NATO until then. I practiced a lot so am used to changing them now, but occasionally one does catch me out!
The Casual Watch Reviewer NATO?
Sorry yes a NATO strap
My watch remover is stuck in
Thx man
Cheers for watching!!
Thanks.. big help
Just bought one and the 37.5 is aa beauty like an 10+ year old one have. But the bracelet is junk these days. Could not remove more than one pin?
Just a mess and broke my tools. The bracelet is nothing like the Invicta I have 10 years old. To a watchmaker and really hope he has better luck.
my watch has no arrows, has either 2 or 1 circles on each side of the pins if that makes sense. and to take it to my walmart and have them do it is scary , they dont care about your watch and i've seen it. where else would you recommend i go?
Hey Micky, the 2 circles are the split part of the pin I'm guessing so push from the other side
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you man
You're welcome!
Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
I just bought a gold invicta and I love it so much but it’s not tight on my arm. I try to remove some of the links but I don’t want to break it.
Give it a go, Im going to update this video in the new year based on feedback.
@@CasualWatchReviews I will during the weekend. Thanks for replying.
Can we remove more than 4 links?
I think you can remove 6 or 8 links
Where do I get this machine
Amazon has a few different ones
Thank you sir 🙏
Most welcome
Well done. YES! It is called a "bracelet", and never a "band".
Also, leather versions are called "STRAPS", never "bands". I am sure you know this. Just commenting for the sake of others.
Great video.
wow! why not epoxy the watch to your wrist? My lord, that is tight. Great video.
No wrists were harmed in the making of this upload 😂
Does it matter if say you took 2 links one side and one the other..or is thar a stupid question ??
Hey Issac, the only think you have to be careful of is that the clasp os comfortable ok your wrist, work that but out then you can remove the Links and use the micro adjustment on the clasp to get a better fit!
My pins are all the same and all to big,keep breaking
Hi, I would highly suggest getting a jeweller to help you if your having trouble with this.
An old woman could figure this out. I used corn cob skewer pins. BUT my new watch has NO holes of any kind on the edge. How do you remove links there?
What type of watch is it? Sometimes the pins are polished flat Joe?
@@CasualWatchReviews Mine is a Casio - same style of band. But, on the inside near the edge are arrows pointing outward. Another vid shows this type (it has no end pins but two prongs instead). The whole end is supposed to slide out but try as I have I cant get them to budge. I might try WD40.
A handy tip; Before you are going to use tools to resize your watch, practice this first on an old bracelet you will never use.
Just a quick question: when you reinsert the pin, I'm assuming you have to note which end of it has the split, and make sure it matches all the others. Do you also follow the same arrow direction for inserting the pin? Excellent video, by the way.
Hi, Im working on a updated video to this to show how it works. You're going the opposite way to the arrow to get it back in. The split has to be on the side the arrow is on
@@CasualWatchReviews Thank you for your quick reply. I have a suggestion for your update video that will help people like me (i.e. not always the sharpest tool in the shed). At the key points in the video, have zoomed in screenshots that show the pin, the arrow, and other pertinent things. I know it can seem over simplified, but it might help people like me not damage anything or become very frustrated by trial and error. Again, thank you for your quick reply, and I love the attention to detail you put into your video.
Wish I could of seen this in the video.
❤
great job !
Thank you and thanks for watching!
