Guide to Adjusting the Length of a Wide Metal Watch Strap

This video provides a method to adjust the length of a metal watch strap using simple tools, but if you are an inexperienced novice, it is still recommended that you purchase a watch repair tool kit or seek help from a professional watch repair shop.

Tools Required:

1. Link Remover or Pin Pusher. Used to push out the pins from the watch strap links.
2. Rubber Hammer. Used with the pin pusher to gently tap and remove pins.

Adjustment Steps:

Step 1: Prepare and Inspect

1. Check the Pin Direction. Check the back of the watch strap. Small arrows or other marks indicate the direction in which the pins should be pushed out. You need to push the pins out in the arrow's direction, and reinsert them in the opposite direction.
2. Determine the Number of Links to Remove. Measure the watch strap and determine the number of links to remove based on your wrist size. Keep the number of links removed from each side symmetrical for better aesthetics and balance.

Step 2: Remove Excess Links

1. Secure the Watch Strap. Place the watch strap in a link holder to ensure the section with the pin aligns with the slot.
2. Push Out the Pin. Align the pin pusher with the pin top in the direction indicated by the arrow. Gently twist the pin pusher or tap it lightly with the rubber hammer to push out the pin.
3. Remove the Links. Remove the unnecessary links, and repeat the process until the desired length is achieved.

Step 3: Reconnect the Watch Strap

1. Reinsert the Pins. Align the remaining two ends of the strap and insert the pin into the hole.
2. Secure the Pins. Insert the pin in the opposite direction of the arrow and gently tap it with the rubber hammer until fully secured.
3. Ensure Stability. Check that the strap connections are secure and the pins are firmly in place.

Important Tips

1. Protect the Strap Surface. Use a soft cloth under the strap to prevent scratches or damage.
2. Follow the Direction Marks. Push out in the arrow direction and reinsert in the opposite direction to avoid damaging the pins.
3. 🧨Adjust Gradually. Do not remove too many links at once. Try the strap after each adjustment to ensure a comfortable fit..

Recommendations

1. If this is your first time, consider purchasing a watch repair tool kit that includes the necessary tools for easier handling.
2. If unsure about the process, consult a professional watch repair shop for assistance.

Enjoy your perfectly fitted watch! 😁
