Seamaster 1957 Trilogy

Hello all, I requesting some assistance from you with more experience than my self.

I received as a gift the above watch. I need to remove one bracelet link to get a snug fit. I spent some time on the web and searched here but, all I'm finding is a method that pushes out a pin to remove the link. These links appear to have screw slots on the ends so I'm a bit confused. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for any replies.

I read through the posted thread and will contact my Omega dealer next week. Again Thank You all.

I have also used a small bench vise that I use with a microfiber cloth as padding to hold the bracelet so I can have both hands for links that require a screwdriver on both sides to remove them. I have tried this move over my dresser and it usually ends with a dent in my dresser and a screwdriver imbedded in my hand.

An update, after some close looking I could see where 4 of the screw heads had been removed before I received the watch, my SO purchased it used. I decided to give the bracelet fix, removing two links, myself using the bench vice with a box under for screw catching as recommended. All proceeded well and now the bracelet fits as I want.
Again, thank you for all the advice and encouragement.

As a last recommendation to the original poster, if you decide to do this yourself absolutely hold your bracelet over a box to catch the screws as you are removing them. These things are tiny, they will get down into rug fibers and be permanently lost and it is easy to lose track of them on a wood floor for hours.
