Thank you for this...I always take my new watch to the local jeweler and pay them $20 to adjust the bracelet. I have had a kid for quite a while but if I did not learn anything else from your video is LOOK FOR THE ARROWS! 😂👌 I had never seen those before. So, I successful adjusted my bracelet on my new Seiko GMT....I feel empowered! Thanks my dude!

Thank you this is my third watch bracelet adjustment video that I've watched today and it is by far the most professional and the most informational. This makes me feel confident about working on my own watch bracelets. My next step is buying the right tools I guess. Thanks for posting this video much appreciated.

Just watched 3 videos on this subject, but yours was by far the best. Having broken my clamp pin thingy, and I don’t have a block and nylon hammer, I was amazed to see you can push the pins out with the flat tool and finger pressure alone. Wish I’d watched this video months ago. Thanks a million 👍

If you don't have a fancy watch block, to put it on, while you tap the pins out, I used a "flat" wrench from a monitor arm to provide a simple gap for the pin to fall out. Also, if you don't have the fancy punch tool, the center wire of a coax video cable can be used to gently tap the pins out. Yep, talking about mcgyver, but it really does work! Great video, and thanks for the helps.

Couldn't find the jewelers block you used, made one on my table saw in about a minute, Measured the width of my watchband and made the cut to leave 1/8" of the band above the wood surface, used a colored push pin and ground the pointed end flat, tapped the pins out of my band very easily. Voila!

I have never attempted this before and am rubbish at anything manual - DIY?

I'd already bought the plastic cube and mallet/hammer thing and it worked a treat. Thanks again, you're a star :) :)
