Having trouble removing pin from men's Ebel 1911

Having trouble removing the pins from the links on my Ebel 1911 model 74643113 E1080241 wrist band. What size or diameter punch should I use so I don't strip the pin's threads. Do I have to tap hard to get the pins to move? How does a watch repair man remove the pins correctly without any damage?

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.

Remove links

  • 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.

    Removing pins from men's 1911 Ebel wrist band

    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.

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

    Yes - you have to use punch and mallet. Punch must go in where the screws came out and as the result you will have bracelet screw ends coming out from the other side of bracelet.

    How to remove links from band

    This band is put together with cotter pins. To remove the cotter pins look at the edge of the band. The end of the pin that comes out is split and looks like a screw. The end that is solid is the end you want to push from. Use a small punch to push the pin out. The split end is the bigger end of the cotter pin so it needs to come out and go back in the same way it came out. Make sure you remove an even number of links on each side so the watch sits on the wrist the right way. You also have a micro adjustment on the clasp. To adjust the clasp simply use a punch to press the spring bar in the clasp in until it moves. This is a spring bar so be careful it doesnt jump out if the clasp comes apart.

    My wifes Ebel watch band links seem to be stretched out in a few places. Can this be fixed?

    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.

    Watch band adjustment for polo club watch

    There are small holes at the side of some of the links. You need to push out the small needles or pins in these holes in the direction of the arrows that are marked on the links.

    You can use a sewing needle to do that (a blunt one, or break the tip).

    When the small pins are pushed out, the links can be detached.

    Hope that helps

    Cheers Critter
