How to remove a watch band link using a Thumb Tack or Push Pin to Resize the watch repair

First is went to a watch store and asked how much it would be. I'm in D.C., he replied, $24.99. I thanked him, walked away, and watched this video. Perfect instructions!! I did mine with ease. Thank you!

This has saved everyone a lot of money but that’s not the main thing, it makes me feel like a handyman and that’s priceless!

Duuude! I did this to my girlfriends TWO watches. One of which she was told could not be sized perfectly for her BY A WATCH TECHNICIAN. In 30 minutes I sized both of her watches perfectly using this GENIUS technique. You sir are a LEG-END!

Thank you. My dad passed away and left me his watch Ive always wanted. Im 140 pounds soaking wet and he was a chubby little bastard lol. So the watch was 4 links too big for me. I've been meaning to take it to a jeweler to be sized and you saved me the hassle. Love and respect. Thank you.

This is absolutely the best tutorial for getting this done with minimal to no actual watch tools. Amazing my guy. THANK YOU

This was so helpful and awesome. Never thought of thumbtacks and it worked perfectly for me. I had a watch that was difficult for the first time but the thumb tack did the trick. Thank you so much for posting this sir! Blessings.

I watched this and removed the links in less than 3 mins. I saved $25! This video is informative and precise. I used a spanner instead of the hammer. Thank you so much!

Came back to this video because someone asked me about some of my watches. I used this video to remove links because my jeweler forgot to apparently. (Not a flex) but I used this method on a Rolex that I spent well over 18k for, so I was incredibly skeptical. You sir saved me the hassle of being overcharged to remove links. My jeweler was asking for 250 to remove literally 2 links on each side and this only took me 5 minutes to do. Thank you my friend!

Thank you so much for saving me over $40 at Jared's! As soon as the gentleman said $37.99 + tax, I thanked him and exited the jewelry store. Yours was the first video I saw on YT that said "No Tools", and this was absolutely perfect! Thank you for your precise instructions including what not to do.

Excellent video demo! It worked like a charm! I adjusted my wife's new watch and you made me look like a hero! THANKS!

AMAZING. I did it so easily and without fear. Most watch stores take longer and seem to hit or damage the watch while taking the pin out. This was simple. The best and only video to watch.

My new watch links came in today and your video helped me to shorten in.

Never ever let it cross your mind that instructional videos like this are useless.

There are legions of people like me who enjoy lifetips such as this.

Thank you.

My husband couldn't remove links from my new watch with his manly tool kit. I watched this and got the job done! Thank you!!

After trying several things- from a metal skewer from the kitchen, to safety pins of varying sizes, your video here of the thumbtack worked perfectly! A screwdriver handle is the perfect "hammer" for this as well. Thanks for saving me a trip to the jeweler up town and having to pay for a 30 second procedure!

You sir, have saved locked down Christmas for my son, thank you.

Don't know if you will see this....but thank you so much for this video. I was able to go right along with you and shorten my watch band. So thank you again.

My Mother left me her gold Balmain watch. I wanted to remove one link for a better fit. The jeweler said it would be ready in two weeks. Your video and a few minutes solved this for me. I did use a pair of "angle tip" or "slanted" tweezers to recess the pin in place of a screwdriver. Thank you for sharing your video and helping me.

Wonderful idea using items easily found around the house. I was so upset that the jeweler’s I took my watches to get resized did not take out the proper amount of links and made me come back twice because jeweler went to lunch. Wasted an extra hour of my time. They said I could bring my watches back to be resized again for a nominal fee. Forget that! So happy I found your video. Managed to resize for better fit with the instructions on the micro sizing in clasp closure. Thank you so much!🙏

Cheers.
