HOW TO EASILY REMOVE A SEIKO WATCH LINK AT HOME

[@vinceandsharon33]

I just used the pin they use for an ipad reset, popped out easily, cheaper than the tool and smaller. I have a Seiko excelsior. Cheers.

[@ScottMilnes1]

Thanks for the great tutorial- I was sizing my Seiko and all of a sudden I noticed these tiny metal sleeves. I didn't notice them at first and put the pin back in without them. They basically slid right out. Thanks to your video I got it all figured out! Thanks!

[@StillWinding]

Same here. I thought I'd broken the watch, but this video saved me and restored my faith in my DIY skills.

[@christiankirkwood3402]

Thanks for the fantastic post. The jig I purchased as a result of your demonstration was very cheap, quality is great and you saved me the time and money involved in taking my Seiko 5 to a jeweller. Add to that I'm an avid DIY exponent and it's been a great little learning experience and new skill 👌 All kudos to you sir and warm regards from us here in Tuckomnbil via Alstonville and East Ballina 800km north of Sydney. MATE 🤙

I need that tool! About $20 and the hassle of taking it somewhere every time. Thanks for the vid!

[@seangette1957]

Thanks for the video. I used a thumbtack for my watch. Worked great and didn’t need any other tools.

[@stevensherman1641]

Thanks for the idea. Worked perfectly.

This really helped me add a link to a used Seiko Sbbn015 I bought from Japan. I found only one link for sale on the entire web! Other videos on how to do this just showed a pin that had a head to it similar to a small nail, and the collar just fit on the other side. I couldn’t figure out why the pin looks so different for the part I bought. I found this video and now I understand. I successfully just added the link myself.

I am going to order the tool on Amazon this week. Thanks for the link! I will certainly add my thoughts on how easy it was once I get it all accomplished. Oh, and by the way, you look very professional in your shirt, blazer and gloves. I admire people who take pride in their appearances. Good for you!

[@christiankirkwood3402]

The Amazon tool/jig that is blue and costs $19 is a ripper. Very solid and well able and up to the task, but you probably have it by now, hope it work's out well or has done the job. Go well 😀 👍

[@peacelovejoyandhappiness]

@@christiankirkwood3402 thank you so much. I decided to keep my Garmin watch since I wanted to save money on a new watch. I returned the watch. Have a Happy New Year 🎊🎆 2024

[@christiankirkwood3402]

@peacelovejoyandhappiness You're welcome and no worries 👍 Have a healthy, happy, prosperous and peaceful new year for 2024 ✨️🤙

[@flubber27100]

Really good video explaining hw to do that tricky operation. You made it look so easy. I have bought the screw extractor to try myself. Thanks

[@teneluxio]

Thank you for talking about the pipe. No idea what that thing was when I pulled the pin and it fell out.

[@ewxlt]

Those pins are under about as much tension as the buttons on his shirt.

[@TheSchumijr]

Came to see if anyone mentioned his shirt…….and I get it on the first comment. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Andrew.Stuart]

Thanks so much, I was wondering how to put the pipe section back in.

[@ArthurLorente]

I don't know if this is a matter of being older/newer models but this did not work for me at all on an SRPD55- Had to hop onto another video where they pointed out the arrows in the inner side of each link which indicate the direction you have to push the pin towards. They came out super easily, did not need a plier at all and there was no pipe

[@travis11231]

If you take a link out of one side will you have to take out other side?

[@CMX599]

Thank you for this video. I was removing links on a Seiko ssc813 and could not figure out the small barrel piece. Now no more popping out pins!

[@veloz7860]

How do you know which pin type your watch has??

[@ptmonbf1942]

Thank you! This was super helpful in getting the bracelet sorted out on my new prospex.

[@GK-rw2op]

I have a Grand Seiko snowflake and I can not remove the pin my pin remover bent as I was trying to remove there are no screws on mine do they only go out one way ? Thanks

[@YouTolan]

Are those special pliers? They look round

[@martinodriscoll5158]

Does it matter which side of the bracelet the tool should be on?

[@Luke584]

What if I lost a little things to tighten the watch link the tube?

[@jeffgreen5268]

Where can you purchase missing Seilo Marine Master bracelet “pipes”?

[@suleymantolgaburan2865]

dont you put back those smaller pipes?

[@MrYim123]

Where did you get those gloves

[@gabos7892]

Does it matter which side you push the pin out?

[@MC-wk6kl]

I watched about 4 videos for removing Seiko links until this one that talked about what to do with the pipe if it falls out. This is a really important step and I was super lost when it happened to me, and confused why no video talked about how to put it back.

[@suleymantolgaburan2865]

do we put the pipe back in? I couldnt see that in this video?

[@zamirkabo9705]

Hi, could you please give me alink for the pins and collars for my seiko king turtle svae the ocean manta ray? would be very grateful

[@sergeantswag9389]

What do i do if my pin wont budge, ive pushed it out a bit then its just stuck

[@noneyabiznas3590]

Wow well that was much easier than I thought! Thx!!

[@TheBartholomewTeam]

Great stuff! Thanks for the video

[@LuisPerez-st8ju]

Awesome! Thank you very much!

[@allanm3797]

How do you remove links for the seiko excelsior?... I just got one today and it's two links too big.

[@chrisbrady8186]

How about adding a link to a discontinued model?

[@dino432]

Thank you! Worked great!!

[@mikek7193]

Thank you for your video! I hope you get a commission from the kit I bought. Thanks again from a new subscriber. Mike

[@michaelcolavito1803]

This saved me a trip, thanks!

[@richardman28]

I am an experienced watch collector and forever changing straps on my luxury watches. I have been collecting prospex seiko watches and have around 6. Just recently brought my first one on a bracelet and I can tell you it is the hard thing to resizing the damn thing. It's the bloody small pipe which is a pain in the backside. Bet thing to do and they didnt mention it on in the video is to remove the strap completely from lug to lug a s adjust the strap that way. Doing it with the case there is a massive problem.

[@DarrenAshton]

Nice instructions

[@BearInTheWoods931]

Well done video. I think I can do that, but instead I’ll take it back to the jeweler. lol 😊

[@SloGrind]

Thank you!!

[@robertsarubbi2449]

Thank You!! 🙂

[@jimmyv1753]

Do you see the pin there. Uh no. Lol slow down a little bit. Lol. I wish I could zoom more

[@MaZEEZaM]

oh yay, lets all buy a pin remover for the once off bracelet adjustment!!

[@Snagaxe]

if ypu take one out, you take the other one out right?

[@Linhhan21]

Thanks you👍

[@alexfranchuk9608]

There is the name for this so called "pipe". It's called a "collar"😊

[@alexcox5985]

2023, consumers spending thousands of dollars on watches and this ridiculously fiddly way of removing a link is somehow still acceptable

[@sean550]

These are simple to do...grand seiko totally different job...

[@brunodn9702]

Hello from France. Yes. This "system" I discovered first on my mm300 sbdx017 one year ago, is just... very very naughty... ;) Don't lose a pipe, guys... Hahahaha!!! Take care and be safe, everybody. Covid is a killer.

[@rl8236]

Made to look very easy! It’s not

[@the.magnus]

Lol the “pipe”

[@patrickholcomb9628]

simply doing it at home doesn't equate to waiting to buy stuff online... simply at home means stuff SOMEONE HAS AT HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not a jewelers shop chief.

[@MyCrystalPlaid]

Thank you!!

[@noneyabiznas3590]

Wow, well that was much easier than I thought. Thx!
