I recently received this bracelet and have tried using every tool that I have but can't get any of these pins out. Any suggestions?

 

anyone?

 

Ask your watchmaker perhaps ?

 

Checked with him, he also doesn't know

 

Just going by that single high-level fly-over shot?



Maybe if you could show good close-ups of the other side of the bracelet and each side of it some one here may have a brainstorm.

 

Maybe post in "open discussion" where more people can see ? Also another idea would be to send Longines a query with detailed shots.

 

My bad! Didn't post them here. I know the finishing doesn't match but wanted a period-correct bracelet to change things up. Both sides are the same -

 

Try a fine tip screwdriver, insert into one of the little gaps and gently try to move the tab in there to left ot right, or push it down gently,

AT THE SAME TIME, gently try to move one link sideways against the other. It helps if you have three hands.

And remember, GENTLY/SOFTLY/SLOWLY.

 

thanks! will try this again but i have a buddy to assist. cheers

 

I would recommend using a fine tip springbar tool
