Speedmaster bracelet link question

    Hi, so about a year ago I bought a 1171/633 bracelet from a fairly local AD and they put it on my Speedmaster for me. Problem was I asked them to make it as small as possible for my tiny wrists and even then it was still too loose and slides up and down my arm. The guy in there told me he'd removed every link possible and I ended up just storing the bracelet away figuring maybe one day in the future it would fit.

    Fast forward to now and I was just taking a leather strap off to switch to a bracelet for the summer and decided to dig out the 1171 to see if it fit any better this year... I noticed on the underside of it there are two links (one at 12 and one at 6) both of which are connected to the clasp and have arrows on them.

    Doesn't this mean that 2 more links can actually be removed by a jeweler and this would fit me or are these ones non-removeable for some reason?

    No the arrows denote removeable pins. You can’t go further easily.

    Indeed denotes the direction to push out the removable pins, each normally in its own little cylindrical tube...

    Oh so they're not actual links that can be removed, it's just showing which direction the pins come out - thanks.
