Longines bracelet shortening

You obviously haven’t checked out the edges of the links on either side of the clasp! Those holes are where the hinge pins are inserted to hold the bracelet together. These pins are always stainless steel, and are seen in a variety of different types. Screws, split pins (like a skinny cotter pin), and solid hinge pins. Screws need to be unscrewed. Split pins and hinge pins need to be pushed out with tools for that purpose. The solid pins are often held in with a ferrule, or a stainless steel tube, usually within the centre link. If you get the bracelet apart, and if there are ferrules, don’t lose them! Yer gonna try this yerself, eh? Well good luck.
