If you need to resize a watch bracelet, don’t worry, it is a very easy and straight forward procedure. There are two basic ways a watch links can be assembled, using pins that press out, or pins that screw out. We will discuss the much more common press out pins here. You need a few tools to deal with the watch links, a little patience, and a little practice. To start with, we need a watch:
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To put it back in (going the same direction as it came out, following the arrow) you need to drive the pin in by placing the side of the band on a hard surface and using a very small brass hammer
![]() ![]() It probably goes without saying but to resize a watch band you add links if the watch is too tight and remove links if it is too loose. Watch links also sometimes come in half sizes for making minor adjustments.
That is all there is to it! Good luck!
Although I prefer the above tools, if you only need to do it once and need something on the cheap, you can also get a watch band resize kit from amazon. You can also finds ome links, pins and more tools by searching amazon for watch links.
