Sizing a SFSO help

I received my SFSO yesterday and I need to remove some links in the bracelet before I can wear it. I am a total noob at this. Any suggestions on what I need and how to do it would be greatly appreciated. I did a search but I could not find anything. Should I just take it to a jeweler to size? I live in a small town with no jewelers selling anything other than citizen or seiko, so I doubt they could spot this as a rep.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Weeell the Breitlings are a little tricky, simply because you have to take out more screws.

If you look at the bracelet, near the clasp, you will see little screws. You have to take out--- BOTH screws--- to remove 1 link. Unlike other bands, you will remove both screws, then pull the link up off of some tubes.

If you remove both screws, pull the link itself off, it will become clear what needs to be done next. If not, post a reply, or pm me. :D

Sizing this one is a real breeze as long as you have a small enough screwdriver.
It's pretty straight forward... Don't let the diagonal bracelet confuse you.

Thanks, I did it today. It was easier than the Tag I also did today.

i really need to start sizing my own bracelets. i took my SFSO to a watch guy and since he couldnt do it, he sent me to his buddy at the zales in the mall.

i ended up wasting an hour of my time cause he didnt know how either.
