Most bracelet adjustments require a special tool that is only found in a jewelry store, or your watch can be shortened by the manufacturer. Many watches have pins that push out if you look on the back of the band there should be arrows the pins push in that direction if you have something small enough to fit it the hole, be very careful to put the pin back in the same way. Occasionally some watch bands are not pins they are screws and it can be very difficult to tell the difference between the two. If the watch band has a screw it requires a very small screwdriver and you must be careful NOT to strip the screwhead! You can also shorten some watches by just moving the pin in the band buckle if you have a small tool you should be able to do this yourself, BUT wear glasses because pins will spring out, keep pointed away from your face. Hope this helps!
Thank you for contacting FixYa.
What kind of stores were you taking too?? If you were going to places like Sears, Walmart etc I can see this, And most retail jewelers.
Honestly, I would look under yellow pages for a watch repair store. They should have most watch tools. I googled and found plenty in your area.
If still no luck then send to Swiss Legend at: http://www.swisslegend.com/
Best regards. Jewel

I'm not exactly sure what type of watch this is, but for 99% of watches out there, this article will help you remove links and adjust the watch. http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Size-a-Watch
They probably forgot to put the little locking barrel back in before hammering the links shut again. Some watches have the link, the pin, and a barrel that goes in the link before the pin is hammered in. If your watch needs this barrel then the pin will NOT stay in without it, no matter what.
