Help removing link(s) from steel bracelet

I have this bracelet here with a couple of removable links. These are not the split or friction pins that pushes out uni-directionally. They are spring loaded and can push in 2-3mm, but nothing happens. I assume they have to be pushed in a certain depth and then behave like a spring bar, however I can’t figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated. Furthermore, the clasp is horribly off center, can I remove links from the long end and add them to the short side? There are no removable links on the short side.

Yes what they said. Now show pictures of the watch as I recognize the logo and wanna see!

Sounds like a brain teaser puzzle. I'll stick with screws or pin and collars 😁

Thanks all, very helpful. I might be in the minority, but this was a 9/10 on the pain in the ass scale. It involved a lot of luck. There just isn't much up/down play in the links of this bracelet to sneak out one of the sides. Very little stretch in this one made it very tough. When I did, the other side/end came out easily. Getting a link back in was challenging for one, but with a little help I did it.

This is hard to articulate in words, but I found that the best method was to lay the bracelet flat on a table with the inside (that touches your wrist) facing up as the working side. Flip up the center part of the link while the outer link ends stay flat on the table, slide the spring bar in, then take simultaneously push in both ends of the micro spring bar, then have your child push the inner part down and let go. If you're lucky it'll all click into place like magic. Truly a horrendous design when tension or split pins could have been used. There must be a reason though.


Sure! @Dan S is correct. This is a first execution Favre Leuba Ref. 59603 "Deep Blue" and that is the original bracelet with aftermarket endlinks that fit too tight. It's now riding on a mesh bracelet.

I really made sure to check that I didn't screw this up!
