Yeap. I used a flame and it came out effortlessly. Turns out there were wax in the screws

Heating the bracelet worked pretty well. Screws were still very tight but did come out eventually. Thank you! The watch now seems to be glued to my wrist. I think the finish of the bracelet is outstanding. I have held the gen a while ago and can't tell a difference in regards to the overall feel and finish.
It is not wax, but loctite to prevent the screws from falling out. Heat softens it, a hairdryer will do the trick..
Ugh I'm trying to resize and clean up my tc 16610 bracelet. There's one screw that won't budge. Gave it an ultrasonic bath , nope. Gave it the blowdryer, nope. Won't budge, but I don't want to force it

Tbh I don't think I'll even have to remove the link so I was just going to leave it.
The blowdryer didn't work but I thought I might try boiling water

Anyone has any complaints about the comfortableness of the JF V2 bracelet? Compared to noob rolex bracelets this thing is not very comfortable and leaves marks on the skin especially if tight and if you add 1 link it becomes too big ;/

Adjustability could be improved. I think a half link would be useful for some. Does anyone know if the GEN half link fits the jf bracelet? If the bracelet is fitted well I feel there is not to much of a difference to Rolex but Rolex is probably amongst the most comfortable steel bracelets

Does JF make 1,5 links ? Answer NO! But After seeing some pictures of it on gen forum, it kind of changes the looks of the bracelet pattern and is not as cool to look at some link that is not the same as others ;/
Guys, there is another thread here were someone is having issues with pressing pins out. Could you say from which side you pressed? From where the screw came out or from the other side where the rounded head of the pin is visible and not covered with a screw?
Ok, means pressing on the rounded head. I guess pressing in for reconnecting is also done frome the screw side, right? Thanks again buddy!
Have a 15400 in the post today. All these horror stories about the bracelet are worrying me a bit...
Success! Watch arrived, re-sizing was no big deal. The pins came out quite easily. Some came out without using the pin press tools, others needed a little "push".
Removed 4 links in total for 6.75 wrist.This thing looks great. Had the gen on my wrist at the AD recently, the JF looks and feels the same.
I'm a happy chap! Thanks for your help my friends.
