Watch Link Remover Guide
Remove links:
- Find the arrows on the back of the metal band. They show the direction the pins should be pushed out.
- Retract the pusher: turn the tool’s knob counter-clockwise so the needle is fully backed away.
-
Seat the band in the tool’s slot so a link pin lines up with the tool’s needle.
- The band’s arrow should point away from the tool’s needle (you’ll push in the arrow’s direction).
- Align carefully: the needle must sit squarely on the center of the pin. Misalignment can bend the needle.
- Push the pin: turn the knob clockwise slowly. The needle will drive the pin out in the arrow direction.
- Once ~2–3 mm of the pin sticks out, stop and pull it out with fingers/tweezers.
- Remove the second pin on the other side of the link you’re taking out. Lift the link out.
- For best fit, remove links symmetrically from both sides of the clasp.
Reconnect the band
- Rejoin the band ends. Insert a pin opposite the arrow direction (i.e., back in the way it came out). Start by hand.
- Place the band in the tool again and use the needle to press the pin fully flush (turn knob clockwise gently).
- Check fit on your wrist. If still loose/tight, repeat removing/adding a link as needed.
- When done, make sure all pins are fully seated and flush.
Notes & Tips
- Don’t force it. If it’s hard to turn, re-check alignment—you may be on the link, not the pin.
- To keep the clasp centered, remove the same number of links from each side.
