Help explaining how to shorten omega vintage bracelet

Wizzar · Feb 4, 2024

Hello, please find out photos and help me and explain how can I shorten that kind of bracelet. I definitely can see some spots, small holes on the sides of links close to claps as they are removable but no idea how to do it.

Have not done it before on this bracelet but it looks like you have to press into the hole marked red and at the same time pull on the blue marked area.

But of course I will stand corrected if anyone more experienced chimes in.

kind regards Max

In the blue are hole there is a small spot inside. I’m not sure if I can press it, on the left side it’s a hole on the right side in the hole there is small spot, not on the full area of the hole. It’s soooo complicated lol

Bear in mind putting it back together will almost certainly be harder than taking it apart so if you’re not comfortable with this but, it may well be worth taking it to a watchmaker.

Probably not for someone that knows what they are doing...(watchmaker).
