Introduction

Almost every watchmaker from Casio to Rolex produces watches with link bands. When adjusting or repairing a band becomes necessary, adding and removing links with a few special tools is the only solution. This comprehensive guide will demonstrate how to properly perform such manipulations on a Michael Kors brand wristwatch.

    • Place the watch on your wrist and determine whether links should be added or removed.

    • If watchband needs to be expanded, approximate the number of links required.

    • Set the watch on the block holder.

    • Ensure the arrows located on the links are pointing downward.

  3. QfRlintmXx1ZvRru
    • When removing damaged or extra links, hold one end of the pin pusher against the pin to be removed.

    • Strike the other end of the pin pusher with the metal side of the watch hammer until the pin slides out.

    • Two pins hold each link to the band, so two pins must be removed per link.

    look on the inside of the band, a lot of manufacturers put a directional arrow to show you which way to remove/insert the band pin, this is because these pins have a larger end on one side, if no arrow is present then removal is bi-directional…having said this, make sure your band doesn’t use screw pins, high grades like Rolex and others use screws….

    • Discard the broken links or save any extra links that you remove.

    • To add links to the watchband, position the watch on the block holder with the arrows facing upward.

    • Insert pins into the holes that connect the new link to the rest of the watchband.

    • Use the soft side of the hammer to strike the pin down.
