How to remove the pins from a 1911 Ebel men's wrist watch link?

You do not need to go to US for watch repair. Follow this link: http://www.ebel.com/#/en/ On the right bottom side of the screen click on store locator. Now click on Middle East and Africa, then click on Israel. Choose the city (or nearest to you). Use the phone or email address to get in touch and clarify with EBEL your problem. Rate me, please.

mcdevito75 here, Look for any kind of lip on the clasp you can slip a finger nail under to lift, also look along side of the clasp as this clasp may have tabs you simply squeeze to open it. If this fails, simply stop into any small watch repair shop in your area for help.

On my men's classic wave, the stem is removed simply by pulling it out. It feels like it's requiring a lot of force, but it is designed to have resistance so that it's not pulled out accidentally when setting the time.
So to change the battery, you remove the 5 faceplate screws, remove the crystal and gasket, pull out the stem and then the whole face/movement assembly will pull forward.
NOT positive yours is the same, but that's how my men's Classic Wave is. Good luck!

SOrry, if Ebel doesnt have that means it is discontinued and no longer available anywhere.

Wrap the watch band around your wrist to determine how many links need to be removed for the watch to fit properly.

2 Place the watch face-down on a flat surface.

3 Look on the back of the watch band. You will find an arrow that indicates which direction you should push the pins to remove the links.

Find the point at which the extra links need to be removed for your watch to fit your wrist. Using a 1 mm flathead screwdriver (or the edge of one side of a pair of tweezers), push the pins in the direction indicated by the arrows.

Finish removing the pins with your pliers.

Keep the extra links in case you ever need extra room on your watch band.

mcdevito75 here, Chances are the qiuckest way is to visit a local jewlery shop in your area, they may have quicker accesss to Ebel so you can get Ebel replacement links, this way your Ebel watch remains 100% Ebel.

Watchmakers are using special pin removing tools and punches. You can find them on Ebay. If you have pins you can not damage threads as pins do not have any threads - they are friction fitted. Punch must be the size of the pin end you can see. Some pins come out easily, some quite hard, so, use appropriate strength to drive pins out. In case if there are screws - use small screwdriver to fit in the slotted screw end and unscrew the screw.
Rate me, plz.

Punch must be metal. Size of punch must be the same as the screw size. Punch must go into the hollow part left by the screw, so, when tapped, the screw end (nut) will come out from the opposite side to where screw came out. Start tapping lightly and go harder and harder till you see the ends coming out. Read my tip - it can help as well. Tools can be bought on Ebay.

Hi, I have two links for an Ebel Sportswave watch. They were taken out of the bracelet of my 6-year-old Ebel and are like the ones shown in your photograph. Let me know if you are still interested and if you are, make me an offer.
Thanks.

Unfortunately it is not possible to do it yourself as special tools and skills are needed.
You can bring your watch to the nearest watch repairer or find the nearest EBEL dealer here:

Note: sometimes it is not possible to repair or renew stretched links and replacement of band is necessary.
