New 33mm J12 from Timeshops - how to remove links?

[braith7]

Hi Guys,

Just received my wife's J12 from timeshops - all in order, looks pretty sweet. (sorry, rough mobile photos)



But how does one remove bracelet links with this style, Im unfamiliar with it. It looks like you jam something thin into the center to depress a sprung pin but I cant get that much pressure onto it with the only thing small enough I could find (a small radial spring ) - do I just need a better tool?



Thanks for your help!

They press out like a regular bracelet. The pin is a two piece pin. They are a pain to get out without a link removal tool.

They are a pain alright. One of the hardest bracelets to size unless you have proper tools. Paid 20 bux to get my wifes sized, worth every penny.

Nothing difficult.
