Very fucking helpful. I was able to fix my old fucking Seamaster and will wear it with fucking pride knowing I fixed it myself. You are the Fucking Man Archie!
I have four fucking pins on my fucking Seamaster Pro that I need to fucking replace. I don't fucking know if I should bring it to my fucking Watchmaker, or buy the fucking proper tool and do it my fucking self.
Fifteen years ago I bought my Omega Speedmaster Moon Watch used from eBay. The watch was in beautiful shape, the original owner left it in the safe most of the time. Praise God that he included the extra links, along with box and papers, because he had small wrists. I sounded much like you did trying to remove the pins myself before deciding that my jeweler might know things I didn't. Mostly, he knew different expletives... but he succeeded where I failed, lol! 😂
Great info, thanks Archie! What makes it a bit easier for removing those pins is that device you can get with the watch toolkits that you can screw in the one end and it pushes the pins through the other side. These work great and you won't have to worry about your hand slipping and scratching the bracelet.
Hahahahahahha wow did not expect this to be so funny! It’s usually some rich snob with a perfect lexicon making watch videos. I’ll take this guy all day hahaha
Well, as I was trying to size my bracelet and had a very hard fucking time doing it, I am really happy that I stumbled upon this. I then knew I only had to push much harder and then it worked.
Screws are obviously best :) I thought the arrow was to demonstrate which direction you put the pins back into the bracelet ? I may be wrong , I am open to re education .
Took my 9541 to some shithead shoemaker around the block and he was hammering away at my watch then snapped the remaining pin in three different parts and lost a tube and pin from the extra link. Decided not to charge me and somehow the watch wasnt scratched. Anyway now I have to go to an actual watchmaker and let him scalp me to replace the damaged pin so my seamaster doesnt explode when I'm walking around like a fuckhead.
Truer words cannot be said. I clicked on this video to figure out if there was a secret to getting the pins all the way out, and I found the secret. I went to a local jewelry store where they did it for me. I won't be trying that again myself
I bought a used speedmaster and tried to size the bracelet today 😅 ended up with 2 bent screwdrivers trying to remove the pins... I took the bitch to a jewler after that.
The latest models do use screws. The Bond type Seamaster bracelet is even worse because there are 2 small inner tubes and you gotta worry a whole lot more about aligning the buggers.
Sir, you are a gentleman. I feared the amount of pressure was applying was too excessive, but after seeing your video it did the trick. I agree sir, it is a F*** Bitch!
Hey Archie you describe this perfectly. Ive owned my Seamaster for years and its a fucking nightmare when the pins break with amazing regularity. its a fucking bitch !!!!!!!!
I damn near destroyed 4 of my pins on my 1861 speedmaster bracelet. The watch was used when I bought it and had decades of caked in dirty inside the pin holes so it’s impossible not to destroy the pins just to remove it. And I hate this bracelet. Ordered a flat link with screws and current using my marine master 300 rubber strap until that one comes in the mail.
I had just started to attempt to add another link to my Seamaster bracelet when I came across this video. Thanks for the headsup Archie I think I’ll take it back to the Omega store and let them tear their hair out instead.👍
Does anyone have any idea what tool is required for removing the Omega Planet Ocean 45.5mm bracelet? Been trying with some crap springbar tool for 2 days and getting pretty over it. Would take it to the jeweller but dont want to do that every fcking time i change the strap. Any tips fukkkers???
Fuck this mate. Got half through and shit it. I'll take it to simpsons, timpsons whatever. ive got a seamaster 120M and can I fuck get the pins to move. Does this vid apply to older Omega bracelets?
nice video. I've just flicked my current 1998/849 bracelet, and replaced it with the 1171/1 bracelet. Got it from Watchco in Melbourne, and it looks superb. None of the flashy polished shit that makes the band look like it's off a lady's Longines. Just hollow links with heaps of adjustment, and makes the watch look like a sports watch, not some half assed dress watch band.
They are just cheap.thats it. Rolex use screws that are so easy to work with. One moron i know tried pushing back a pin with his thumb, and its anybody,s guess what happened!
It depends on the type of the speedomaster. You can say 1500 euro to maybe 20 thousand or more, I don't know and Most important it hath to have documents.
Perhaps the most honest video I've seen this year if not ever. Thanks for telling it straight.
I love how this is like the only video on how to adjust an older Omega bracelet.
First one I came across for my style and I am NOT disappointed.
absolutely didn’t see this commentary coming
it’s HILARIOUS
Oh my god this narration is hysterical I cannot stop laughing cheers mate

Everything about this video screams luxury. Love it, thanks.
every few years i have to re-watch when servicing the bracelet, this is the only video i ever needed. thanks m8
The way you describe it couldn't be any more accurate... but I finally made it. Thank you! ❤😂
Ten years later the Pontiff still dropping knowledge
He's correct. It is a damn tough job removing pins from Omega Seamaster bracelets.
No, it's a fucking tough job, Dick.
😂👍🏼
Fucking nightmare...broke and bent 2
This is the best instructional video I've seen in a couple years. Well done.
Exactly what I needed - thanks a ton, my speedie now fits properly

finally, a video for the common man! language and all
Common men are not degenerates like this fella
Was not expecting all those "f bombs" hahaha
OMG this is the best tutorial I have ever watched 😝
Best watch maintenance video ever. Tells it like it is.
Best instructions and commentating out there!
Great video, honestly straight forward 😅
I wanna buy this guy some drinks and hear his stories!
Archie Luxury - who swears like a sailor! Love it, lol. 🤣
Thank you. Most straight up no nonsense video I’ve seen in a while
Watched this in 2021, it really helped a lot.. those little tubes piss me the hell off lmao

Mine broke trying to get these out
Had to go it by hand
This was actually really helpful. Thanks Arch!
Hahahahahahha wow did not expect this to be so funny! It’s usually some rich snob with a perfect lexicon making watch videos. I’ll take this guy all day hahaha
Oh that was great. Just made my day better. Thank you. Seamaster Aqua Terra mk1 in stainless. Best buy right now.
I can't stop laughing at how funny this video is! 😂
Amazing info and absolutely hilarious
Probably the least useful but most entertaining vid on sizing a Moonwatch bracelet yet
Well, as I was trying to size my bracelet and had a very hard fucking time doing it, I am really happy that I stumbled upon this. I then knew I only had to push much harder and then it worked.
Got to love the honesty
Thanks Archie very helpful
Screws are obviously best :) I thought the arrow was to demonstrate which direction you put the pins back into the bracelet ? I may be wrong , I am open to re education .
At least those collars are pretty big. Try Seiko and their damn microscopic collars.
Thanks man. I was wondering what the fuck I was doing wrong. 👍
HOLY FUCK I did not see this coming. My new favorite video.
seriously funniest thing I've heard in a while - made my night
This is awesome!
Hilarious and informative.
Damn awesome. Make more videos please.
Ten seconds in I was like "this is going to be dull"... "IT'S A FUCKING BITCH!" Love you.

3:35 That's all you need
My Oris has this exact same setup and it is a little difficult. I used pliers as well and a small hammer to carefully tap it back in.
Fucking bitch of a job but this video nailed it! Fucking cheers mate
Thank you. I am of an age where fighting with tiny parts is impossible. Why would any company make something so impossible to size.
Truer words cannot be said. I clicked on this video to figure out if there was a secret to getting the pins all the way out, and I found the secret. I went to a local jewelry store where they did it for me. I won't be trying that again myself

what happens if you don't put those tubes back in?
This video cheered me up no end on a day I needed it most. Thank you :)
hahaha i love this commentary!!!!
Love this guys demeanor!
Sir you are the real thing 💯
Sir, you are a gentleman. I feared the amount of pressure was applying was too excessive, but after seeing your video it did the trick.
I agree sir, it is a F*** Bitch!
Hahaha I love the swearing mate! can't stop laughing. Nice watches you have.
Fantastic
Thanks for the tip Archie very helpful.
Bahahaaaa! Loved this. Hope I’m successful!

My favorite channel ever! F*k yeah!
Fucking great video. Will take my fucking watch to the fucking jeweler. If you are ever in Philadelphia I will buy you a fucking beer. Later!
I had just started to attempt to add another link to my Seamaster bracelet when I came across this video. Thanks for the headsup Archie I think I’ll take it back to the Omega store and let them tear their hair out instead.👍
Fucking hilarious and informative. Perfect.
I absolutely love this video!!! I'm rolling on the floor laughing my ass off. Well done!
Informative. Although very bad language, needs new voice over with out the F**k-in's. Very surprised at You Tube allowing such!
Does anyone have any idea what tool is required for removing the Omega Planet Ocean 45.5mm bracelet? Been trying with some crap springbar tool for 2 days and getting pretty over it. Would take it to the jeweller but dont want to do that every fcking time i change the strap. Any tips fukkkers???
Fuck this mate. Got half through and shit it. I'll take it to simpsons, timpsons whatever. ive got a seamaster 120M and can I fuck get the pins to move. Does this vid apply to older Omega bracelets?
Love it!
Great fucking Video!!🦾😂💗

Use screws? They'd only make off with your watch...
HAHAHAHA.....!!!
I fucking fucked it up......just took it to a fucking jeweler for a Sfr.20 fix. FUCK!
A $5 thumb screw style pin pusher makes this job somewhat less of a f**king b*+ch.
best fuckin' watch related tutorial on the fuckin' interweb!
He is right and I agree with his language. I am trying to adjust my seamaster bracelet now and it is a bitch!
ok quite useful video except for the ham sandwich, but why not get proper link removal pliers?
Absolutely hilarious. I laugh every time I watch.
You are right. Strong design, but a bitch to do.
Holy fuck I had a good laugh watching this. Thanks.
I thought this channel was going to suck... the he started dropping F bombs
I love this guy. Keep it up.
i love this guy
Informative and entertaining.
Just tried this the day… nearly went from a Seamaster to an Airmaster (oot the windae)!
Very helpful! F**king great video! Thanks Archie.
I imagine 80% of the views on this vid are due to the extreme use of 'sentence enhancers'. Good on ya mate!! Hilarious... 4 stars (out of 3)!
What does "Fuck" mean?
Well. Fuck me. That was fucking hilarious!
They are just cheap.thats it. Rolex use screws that are so easy to work with. One moron i know tried pushing back a pin with his thumb, and its anybody,s guess what happened!
hahaha some people might think your language is offensive but fuck man, thats some funny shit, well my speedmaster finally fits so cheers hahaha
Gotta be an AUZZIE!!!
both educational and hilarious
hey how much is a 2nd hand speedmaster worth?
It depends on the type of the speedomaster. You can say 1500 euro to maybe 20 thousand or more, I don't know and Most important it hath to have documents.
fuckin loved it
Lolz. Nice style. I love it.
An Aussie flummoxed by some very basic engineering, typical. LMFAO!!!!
