How to Take Links Out of a Seiko Watch
I still remember the day I received my first Seiko watch. It was a beautiful timepiece, and I was so proud to wear it. But after a few years, the band started to get worn and stretched out. I knew I needed to replace it, but I didn’t want to take it to a jeweler. I wanted to do it myself.
So I did some research online and found a few tutorials on how to remove links from a Seiko watch. It looked easy enough, so I decided to give it a try. And to my surprise, it was actually quite easy! In this blog post, I’ll share the steps that I followed with you so that you can take links out of your Seiko watch as well.
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
Before you get started, you’ll need to gather a few tools. You’ll need a small screwdriver, a pair of pliers, and a watch band link remover tool.
Step 2: Remove the Clasp
The first step is to remove the clasp from the watch band. To do this, use the screwdriver to unscrew the small screws that are holding the clasp in place. Once the screws are removed, you can pull the clasp off of the band.
Step 3: Remove the Links
Now it’s time to remove the links from the band. To do this, use the watch band link remover tool to push out the pins that are holding the links together. Once the pins are removed, you can pull the links apart.
Step 4: Reassemble the Watch Band
Once you’ve removed the links, it’s time to reassemble the watch band. To do this, simply insert the pins back into the holes in the links. Then, use the pliers to squeeze the pins back into place.
Step 5: Attach the Clasp
The final step is to attach the clasp to the watch band. To do this, simply slide the clasp onto the band and screw the screws back into place.
