How To: Removing metal band links

band.pencil.jpg

To adjust your metal link band start by looking at the underside. You will notice there are arrows on certain links. These notate the direction you can push out the pin that holds the band together, as well as which links are removable. You will use a watch pin tool to press the pin out in the direction the arrow is pointing.

The end of the pin has a slight flare to keep tension and hold in in the link. Once pressed out you will notice it can only go backing one direction. The flared end is always opposite the arrow.

Once the pin is removed you can repeat the process on the pin below to completely remove the link. Put the two halves back together and reinsert the pin from the opposite side of the arrow and press it in until it is flush with the side of the link.
