    Hey gang,

    I picked up a Holzer bracelet not long ago. It came with 19mm (18.5mm?) end links stamped with 65.

    I can't find much into on these, but I see they come with different sized end links.

    Does this look legit?

    Anyone know what endlink numbers I'd be looking for for 20mm?

    Thanks! Definitely a different bracelet by the looks of it.

    Other than mstanga's excellent bracelet reference chart, know of any resources to explore more? Google mostly turns up FS listings.

    Hoping someone might be able to help with a related question.. wanted to remove a link or two from mine. Seems these have spring loaded pins on the removable links.

    How do you get those out? I can press them in with the pin side of a spring bar remover, but they don't seem to compress enough to get a link out, and then, how do I get them back in?

    I got some out of a similar bracelet the other day by using a regular bracelet tool pin. Got them out just fine. No problem.

    Getting them back in is another story...

    To get them out, is it just jiggling them while pressing in on the pin?

    Tips for getting them back in?

    Yeah, I just stuck the pin in the side hole and pulled the link forward a little on that side moved the pin the other and *bingo* off came the link.

    Now I have the watch and bracelet in a baggie to drop off at my watchmaker. I obviously don't possess either the technique, the patience, or both to get the damned link back on.

    This is a bracelet for a Dynamic, BTW...

    Not so awesome.

    I gave up again. I hope my watchmaker knows the trick...

    My watchmaker fixed it in like two minutes. Also popped the crystal off my recently purchased Dynamic. It's gonna need some work...
