New to the addiction? Need to know how to resize your Seiko 5 bracelet? Look no further!
The watch in the video is a Seiko 5 SNKK27 but this applies to any Seiko five but not a Seiko 5 Sports watch. Their bracelets are different.

About the end bit: That was at a Sinclair gas station. They all have those big dinosaurs in the parking lot. I couldn't resist. People were looking at me funny. I looked back at them even funnier.

[@Ralleballe71]

i know im very late but i have a 5.8 inch wrist because im only 14 i was wondering if the typical seiko 5 could fit me

[@musanetesakupwanya1050]

The first thing that happened was the spring bar launching into oblivion... Now I gotta find it! LOL!!

[@thezapsback]

Just a little advice from my experience: in order to make it more comfortable for your wrist, it's better to size the bracelet asymmetrically. if you shorten downside of the bracelet more than upper side, the clasp will fit much better. if you want to remove total 4 links, better to pick 3 down-1 up than 2-2. Take care! :)

[@minitwatch]

Doing it the way you've described is exactly how I don't like it :p That is how it is most uncomfortable to me! lol. Everyone's different! I like my clasp right in the middle of the bottom of my wrist.

[@prem5er]

Man, thank you so much. I was able to do it by myself. You saved $5 for me.

[@mongooseoftruth2694]

The spring hit me right in the face and immediately it happened in the video! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@AndrewBriscoeAU]

You're a legend, I've been losing weight for months and my watch being loose has been annoying the hell out of me, and I kept forgetting to get it adjusted. Then one day I randomly looked this video up while walking past the computer, found something on the desk and fixed my watch. Literally life changing.

[@williamjc7195]

just received my new Seiko snd495pc(red faced chronograph) to add to my collection. Needed to adjust the bracelet and didn't want to force anything. This set-up was new to me. So here I am :) I love the simplicity, now that I know the simplicity! thanks!

[@kayburtzloff1795]

Thank you.I was able to successfully size my watch after watching the video. Saved me time and money.

[@Gigi-yy7jp]

Thanks so much-worked great. The microfiber cloth was helpful. And it saved me a visit to the local jeweler who is not very customer friendly.

[@carlclaessens5877]

Thanks man, this is really easy to do! I thought it'd be harder to do. Love your humor!

[@The_Navigator07]

thank you too much for this video. I got a seiko 5 yesterday and immediately pulled up you video to fit it.

[@DeepishMoog]

Nice, very helpful. Thanks. Did lauch that springbar once. Took a min to find in the bottom of a box full of junk. lol

[@callme_krose]

I just bought today and you just saved me 3 dollars. Million Thanks. 🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@ytdavidkwei]

Thanks. Watched and did it myself ! Yes. Be careful with the spring when I change the buckle. It did fly away :) but I fortunately I found it. Thanks again !

[@theo3263]

i just got a seiko 5 sport style as a 13 year old and this video saved me $20. Thank you!

[@-ZeitGeist_]

Dude, thank you so much! I needed to micro adjust it in order to fit perfectly and it fits so good right now! You’re a life saver!

[@ahndee]

Thank you so much for this video, had no problem resizing my bracelet. 👍👍

[@silver771000]

Thanks a lot for the video I was wondering how to adjust this type of bracelet!!

[@galaxywanderer]

Informative and entertaining. I'm getting a new Seiko 5 automatic today. My last one I got a good 10 years of use from. I had to take out several links from that one too. Thanks for the instructive video and the laughs.

[@tubeysr]

Which one you got? For now much? How is it?

[@Mike-uo1cy]

Very helpful video, very entertaining commentary too! I like your videos 👍🏻🤘🏻

[@stephonjames1038]

Thank you for posting this!

[@M4CGURU]

Thank you! Very helpful video. Ready to rock my new Seiko 👍

[@thanaang1455]

Exactly the same model that I bought for my son, thanks for sharing!

[@TommyCr7]

I just got my seiko 5 delivered tdy and this is sucha life saver with no shops open in the current lockdown situation! Subbed!

[@victordb9238]

Im in your exact situation!!!

[@TommyCr7]

@@victordb9238 yay 😅🤙🏻

[@cjdeas1528]

So that was both helpful AND entertaining! Thank you very much!

[@paulswitzer9579]

Thanks. Love the “that’s what she said.’

[@andrewm8608]

Thanks, I was looking for this video.

[@jongseokyu3274]

It was informative! After watching this, I was able to do it like a boss!!! Thanks!

[@mothpatrol]

Thanks man. Great video and I resized it with no problem 👍

[@TMRTravisH1993]

I needed your help! Thanks!!!!!

[@BvsMAcosh]

Exactly what I needed. Thanks!

[@lragnarok11]

great tutorial. Helped me a lot!

[@DaleRaby]

Worked just fine. Thanks.

[@lwebb7]

Thanks alot. My pin went flying across the room but I eventually found it and got the job done :)

[@JayHenson]

Curt, only you could make us burst out laughing while changing passive aggressive links. Too good.

[@marcmagnier]

Worked perfectly, thanks!

[@davidtanasi243]

Thanks man, this helped me a lot!

[@djdan292]

thank u!! very thorough and interesting commentary

[@gesu1742]

I already know how to do this and I still watch the entire video just because I know you'll make me laugh. "at least assistant manager" in fine print, for example! Or bracelet links being passive aggressive, lol! (And thanks for not editing out the hiccups!)

[@minitwatch]

haha, thanks man!

[@mrezyfman8717]

Thanks man really easy helped me a lot

[@John-bk2yg]

This video saved me 😂 For me, when taking out the link, I push the connecting clamp thing using my thumb to create more space for the link and vice versa

[@ronmunoz2659]

Thanks for the Vid!! Great help

[@BryanElAteo]

Awesome video, thanks!

[@purpl3spri7e]

Thanks. Video helped me a lot 😎👌🏼

[@joanegraceching8209]

Thank you 🤩 it is very useful.

[@okinawapunter]

very informative video. thanks.

[@h4x0rl33tee]

Gee thanks dude for heads up 👍

[@MrGraymark]

thanks a lot, you really helped me out!

[@inntit4093]

That was some skillful quick fulcruming. Takes me a minute of grobknobbering on each link every time.

[@Ksmithy1080]

I didn't even have to use my AK. LMAO, nice video man

[@staffyfan4K]

Very helpful thank you

[@ruenrockzz]

Thanks for the help

[@petervu9773]

LOL @ 3:51 ! good video man, enjoyed it

[@roqsteady5290]

Very useful thanks!

[@joexg50]

Entertaining review, liked it

[@minitwatch]

Thanks, Joe!

[@galaxywanderer]

Hey thanks. I just received my brand new Seiko 5 automatic about half an hour ago. I had to remove 5 links and thanks to your terrific video I got it done with only a little bloodshed. I gouged my index finger with the teeny tiny little screwdriver that I used to fulcrum the link thingy out. The bleeding has stopped for now.

[@tubeysr]

😅

[@Veegs.]

Has the bleeding returned?

[@marcsalomone4175]

Entering AND informative.

[@groti100]

thank you. really helps

[@snipersson1]

Thank you great video

[@TheUlrikos]

thank you!

[@aubsta1]

Still very useful!

[@arcangelo210]

Today was a good day 😂!

[@minitwatch]

Hah! I'm glad someone got that! lol

[@john-perrybentley2649]

I didn't even have to use my AK.

[@thirdmugs8206]

i was using hammer and metal rod stick for hours and your video makes me realize Im very stupid for this ages

[@supermasterPIK]

i need the 19 mm bracelet. the part which locks the bracelet in the case is lost. Where can I buy it?

[@paulspratt362]

Thank You

[@noellaurente2841]

Thanks Bro 😃

[@mrmhunter5118]

Thanks

[@karlitobergkamp8082]

Like a boss! Or assistant manager 😂😂😂 this is a great video for those who are new to the sport of watch capturing! Well done curt! You ever come to England gimme a shout I'd love to let you review the Omega >15'000 gauss 👉🏻🐝👈🏻

[@minitwatch]

ooooO! Okay will do! Thanks, Karlito!

[@walter2065]

liket the video ,lots of humor also! nice too see

[@faadilshariff764]

I’m having trouble pushing in the fasteners 7:49 is there any advice?

[@MrMnmn911]

Ha ha ha! Good video mate. Thanks for posting. It is very helpful.

[@Daniel-fm5id]

Is this also working with a Seiko SNXS73K ?

[@yoitskane6353]

All these comments are about how it worked for everyone but mine won’t even budge. I can’t get a link out and it’s driving me crazy.

[@kursdragon]

I don't know if I messed something up but I took out a link on one side and then put the other links together and when I put them back together without the extra link it seems like they're loose now and they come apart even with the L thing in place like it was before? Any ideas? Edit : Nvm figured it out, I wasn't putting the L bracket between the hook part of the link, which is where it holds it together, it works now :)

[@KraiiZyK]

i just buy i seiko and thanks for sharing

[@oOGamblerOo]

I bought a new SNKE and this does not work a bit for me, it is so so tight.. maybe because it is brand new, I dunno any tips or advice? :(

[@anassteve]

Would this work for snk793?

[@WatchTimePlus]

Same problem here. Off camera everything I do works first time. On camera, many passive aggressive watch parts. If I may ask, what is the origin of the McThis or McThat?

[@minitwatch]

hahaha! Those damned passive aggressive watch parts!! Um, I'm not entirely sure. It was probably something from my childhood that never left :p

[@sohaibmahagri5037]

Size of the screwdriver? Can 1 mm work

[@Bearsfan-sg6uo]

Does anyone know what size the Spring bar is?? I was adjusting my watch and it vanished without a trace 😭😭

[@fred1293]

you're the man

[@mappy03]

Thank you, very useful. Applied for SNKE01K1.

[@masterpiecetools131]

There is no ledge on the seiko 5 watch strap for the ladies. It is kind of a cam shape, and it s very difficult to move. Or I have a counterfeit watch, though usually they are loose.

[@StuntpilootStef]

Every time a folded bracelet link is resized an angel dies in a fire.

[@hanswurst2490]

Noone has such a tool and obviously this is a brutal force method. I couldn't do it.

[@ec-hi1br]

What ref. ?

[@ElMacron]

Re-sized like a boss hahahaha... Unlce Jimmy would had trolled you if was beside you.

[@minitwatch]

Oh, he tried! I put him in his tank! :p

[@RespectAllBeings6277]

Thank you very much, helps me a lot. I was able to do myself on SNKN58K1.

[@firefightergoggie]

Tried it and failed. Took mine to the jewellers and had my bracelet adjusted for $10 bucks. Some things just aren't worth the aggravation. And this WAS aggravating.

[@tubeysr]

Lol 😆

[@jeremyseah2964]

"The only tutorial that works"... "Simple and helpful"... "Everyone can follow and do it"...

[@mings6744]

Ok but where do I put the tomato

[@minitwatch]

Hmmmm. Good question! We'll have to figure that out and by we, I mean Ted.

[@TheDatpussy]

Are you minitstop from accidental broadcasts videos?

[@minitwatch]

I am minitstop

[@TheDatpussy]

minitwatch well yeah of course from you own channel hehe. Thats so crazy didnt know you were a watch guy i just thought hmmm ive heard minit from somewhere oh yeah minitstop haha. I just became interested in watches and im thinking of the seiko snk but i will pribably get the skx007 even though its a little big on my wrist but oh well.

[@tudorino66]

You can also use a toothpick :)) 2:10

[@keithtanner2806]

My new Seiko 5, not a Sport, has different links!

[@muhaddesachowdhury1001]

3:47 the f*** I have been trying this for over an hour and still can’t get it out!

[@MrMnmn911]

Did you finally get it out?

[@DopamineDetox-mm6uc]

it didnt laucnh into space 2:12 this happend to me and it directly stuck into my eye i had to pull it out
