The Most Frustrating Link Removal EVER!!!

[Lelouch]

I've never had a more frustrating and exhausting experience removing links from a watch.
I am talking about the Tag Heuer Grand Carrera 36 RS i bought from Sora recently.
I having a hard time sizing the bracelet. I have tried poking a paperclip into the hole in the link, the pin only comes out half way. I tried using pliers to pull the pin out but it does even budge. I decided to stop and ask for help here before I break something. Pin links are the worst design ever!!!

Has anyone had better experience removing the links? I need some help! :wyliehelp:

Thanks in advance!

Cheap crap, but it works.

Yep, pin remover is your friend. Drop a lil bit of WD40 there before removing.

Never tried tapping out a J12 ceramic bracelet! Now that's pure Hell!

thanks for the help, just ordered one!

My reply is too late seeing as you have already ordered one, I was about to steer you away from those blue plastic ones, as they are crap. There are aluminium versions which are much better.

Not much different from Breitling bracelets... Resized one once for never more want to touch them.
It's definitely my definition of hell.

Cheers,
