Black SMP bracelet help???

[longshot]

Just before I left on vacation I picked up a black SMP from Joshua. Sadly it had the crown tube drilled and installed crooked in the case and I knew the crown would never be right. So I sent it back and he sent another that should be waiting at the post office tomorrow when I pick up my mail

It seemed to be a pretty good rep and actually a bit more accurate in some ways than the blue Bond SMP (I had a gen of the blue a few years ago and it never really did it for me) but the bracelet just had me stumped?????

I've sized almost every rep and gen bracelet and have the right tools, but I just cannot figure out the Speedy style bracelet on the black SMP. It does not seem to use screws, but there are no arrows on the back to show the direction to push the pins out???

I would really hate to have to take it to a watchmaker just to size the bracelet, but I've searched and can't find instructions??

Anybody know the trick or have a link

they are solid pins that will press out either way.
there is a collar in the center link that is crimped to create the press in tension on the pin just don't loose the collar and you will be fine!

Good Luck!

I found that link some time ago, but the black SMP does not use the same bracelet as the blue :wink:

I am not sure if this helps it is for the PO but the bracelet may be similar.

Both my 4th gen P.O.'s used split pins that would only go in one way and had directional arrows marked on the inside of the bracelet, and were easy to adjust 8)

So far this one is harder than a Tag Link or a Seiko OM/BM or even my VC Overseas or FM Conquistador!

The pin and screw bracelet tool I have would not even get the pins all the way out :x
