Any idea on how to remove a link from an older Rolex Oyster bracelet (from early 70s) with the folded links? There are no screws and no pins in this type of bracelet. Is spreading open the link the only way to adjust these bracelets?

What about removing the pin on the clasp on the o’clock side? Left side by the flip lock? I need to remove another link on the six to fit right on my wrist. Looking for 4 links on the six. Want to remove pin to remove fifth link then replace pin going into 4th link for the 6 o’clock. Thanks

I’d like to see the installation / removal of the Rolex riveted type such as a 7205. No one seems to think it’s possible yet I’m told it’s done in the Asian market.

do you have to take the bracelet off the watch to remove and add? How long do you realistically have to wait after adding loctitie to wear the watch?

Anyone know what size of screwdriver I need to use on a Tudor Black Bay 36 bracelet screws? Do I really need to remove the bracelet from the watch before I heat up to soften the loctite? Is it best to use a hollow ground screwdriver head? Many thanks in advance

Thank you for the great video. I just bought a second hand Rolex Submariner 14060M the day after it returned from the RSC. If I or a professional watchmaker removed a link, would it void the two year Rolex Service Guarantee?

Do you think service centre like RSC also uses lighter flames to heat the thread before removing the screws?

I don’t have to think, I know they do. I worked there. Can I ask, why are you surprised? People seem to be so scared of flames...

@@theseikologist I am not afraid of flame but find it quite premitive but if that works perfectly and like you said you know from your working experience then that is a very useful tips for me as a novice.

@@Saints-Forever it’s watchmaking. The whole thing is primitive. How does a mechanic heat up a bolt he needs to loosen? He uses a torch. A watch is just a mechanical object. A piece of engineering. Wheels, screws, etc. People have a tendency to forget that due to luxury price tags. But at the end of the day, you employ simple, mechanical principles to do the work.

Would anyone know how to get rid of a stripped screw ? i keep turning it and it never comes out or get tight
@nicholaslandry812 жыл бұрын
What if the screws are stripped what then? And I mean stripped completely flush and smooth. On a ball engineer hydrocarbon spacemaster orbital 2? The links are ruined trying to remove the pin I dont care about them I just want to extract the two destroyed pins...

So this is how you adjust the bracelet for sizing correct? Just picked up my first rolex and want to adjust it for sizing

So it's suppose to come already to my size straight out of the box when you buy it from an AD online? Trolls are next level of stupid.

OH LOL, so you actually apply it directly into the threads. Interesting. Whenever I do it I literally just dip the thread end into some loctite and screw it back into place making sure it's snug. Now I know I'm using way too much probably, at least I know after it cures it'll never budge. Noted.

Should be using a heat gun to heat up the lock tight.

Well, tell that to the Rolex service centre. I’m actually a Rolex trained watchmaker and that’s how we did it there.

You don’t need it, but the chances of the screws coming loose is exponentially increased.

Not necessary. Admittedly the risk of screws falling out does increase from one in ten million to one in 7.5 million. Godspeed.
