Hi Guys,

Can anyone recommend a link pin removal tool for Omega 2200.50 with "push pin" not screw.

This is something that I will probably only use 2-3 times per year, and therefore don't want to spend a fortune, I purchased a kit previously but the extractor pins where made of butter, I managed to remove 1 from a Hamilton & that was it.

I am based in UK.

Thanks in advance for your help & Knowledge.

This tool does an OK job but it was designed for split pins, so you'll need pliers to get the pin out the rest of the way:

Also some blue painter's tape to prevent marking the bracelet.

Any of the tools on this page are likely to work:

Me? I use a bench vise with rubber jaws, a 1mm punch, and a ball-peen hammer. To put the pin back in, I either use the vise if it's really tight, or press the pin in using the hammer, and then seat it the rest of the way with the punch.

Pay very close attention to the arrows. The pin comes out with the arrow, and back in against.

Note that if you have a relationship with a jeweller/watchmaker, they will often do bracelet adjustments for free or very inexpensively. This is often money well spent if they're competent. I once had some counter monkey dent a brand-new Speedmaster bracelet being too vigorous with hammer.

See if this is what you need. First on the second row.

In my experience, tools that use a quick blow (hammer and punch) work much better than tools that rely on slow pressure (plier- and screw-type). Something like thisPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network should work fine (the hammer is a joke; toss it and use your own):

 

Thanks VetPsychWars,

greatly appreciate your time, was looking at Bergeon 7230, but wasn’t sure if it was any better than the cheap one I bought a while back. I will definitely look at the links you posted.
