mcdevito75 here, Removeing the tiny pins to remove links is fairly easy, replaceing them is the hard part, for this you"d need a Link remover tool, Best Bet is to look for a small watch repair shop in your area, the $10--15.00 cost will equal your Time, effort and tool you"d need. Don"t forget to hold onto the links removed from the band in case you need them again.
mcdevito75 here, You"d need a special tool available on ebay called a link remover tool. But for fastest remedy and just about the same cost as buying and shipping the special tool, unless your going to do a few watches, your best bet is to look for a small watch repair shop in your area to remove these links, hold onto them just in case you need them later.
mcdevito75 here, An expansion Band, if it is the scissors type band you may not be able to remove links, anyway to remove links you need a special tool available on ebay called a link remover tool, Best Bet, find a small watch repair shop in your area and have them remove the links, the cost of the shop doing it and getting the tool even off ebay is about the same.
Most bands have removable links on the end of the band. You can tell because they have small holes on the side to remove the pins that hold them together. The links that don't have holes are not removable. This is standard on most metal bands.
If it is a metal link band, you can remove a few segments. Segments are connected by split pens. You should see a thinner end and a bigger end; or an arrow on the inside shows where the thinner end should be.
Push the thinner end firmly with a pin or something until the big end pops out the opposite side.Use pliers to remove the pin.
There must be something wrong as ALL watch bands are held together by pins or screws. Did you try to unscrew them? These might be screws instead of pins. And if these are pins, they MUST come out because there is NO other way to shorten the band. I would advise you to find the watchmaker, not the jeweller, and he/she will be able to sort things out. P.S. Not all the bands has pointing arrows on them, so, no worries about that.
Check the sides of watch band and you will see the pin ends. They are holding all links together. If there are arrows inside the watch band, they are pointing the way the pins must come out. To shorten the band you have to: Extract the pins. Take link(s) off. Join the rest of band together and drive pins back.
