Today, I’ll show you how to remove some links from a terrible, terrible bracelet, which is built using cotter pins. If you’d like to see how to install them, go ahead and watch the video backwards 🙂

Thanks so much!!
the bracelet is definitely bad
Love this video. Informative and hysterical
i have SEIKO SSC019, can i replace it spring bar with the spring present in this kit ?
Are these the same as “friction pins”?
Couple-a-things… Firstly, you should get a bracelet pin pusher – essentially a clamp with a pin. This will make the job easy. Alternatively, use a small hammer to gently tap the punch once it is lined up. Pushing the tool with your hands might be fine if you are Hercules, but generally not preferred. Second, folks need to know that there are different bands with different styles of pin arrangement. For example, the Seiko bracelets often have a pin and collar arrangement, with the collar (or tube as Seiko calls it) being half the size of a grain of rice. Lose that and the pin will go back in, but it will fall out at some terrible time. To generalize I suggest doing this over a tray or a sheet and removing the pin, then shake everything around and see if anything comes out. Jewelers screw this up too, so don’t just assume they won’t make a mistake. Ask them what kind of process they are going to follow.
Nick, your a genius and a natural comedian. Thanks for the help and laughter.
Thank you, so much! It worked! Great video!
Love your narration. Consider voicing stories so you might read me to sleep.
Love your accent! what is it?
I’m going to consider this video the inaugural kickoff of the Nick Shabazz series “I’ve got 99 problems and D2 isn’t one.” Great job as usual!
Casio rolex submariner copy!?
informative and hilarious – two thumbs up!
I was laughing as I listened to you and fixing my bracelet. You were really having a war there with your bracelet!
Nice video,very informative many thanks.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
ummmmm your supposed to have a little hammer and hit the end of the tool (the bent one before it was bent) lol. The little hammer usually comes with the watch sizing kit
Crappiest watch?? seems like the crappiest watch repairman are the right words LOL
Helped me a lot…. after I stopped laughing, love your accent and attitude! Get a job on stage. Or perhaps voice overs for Family Guy.
I have the same watch and bracelet combo, the bracelet actually goes on very easy but you have to bend the spring bars or buy curved spring bars for the end links to fit properly on the watch. Yes the quality of the bracelet is suspect but it has lasted over a year of constant abuse so it can’t be that bad.
Helpful AND funny too!
Nice vid’ cheers mate!
Leatherman Tools the best a man can get
Lol I thought it was Gilbert Gottfried doing this vid
Looks like a Rolex Sea Dweller.
Legend – thanks Nick. Just had a Casio Edifice arrive today from Amazon. Was too big. Didn’t have all the tools in my shed, but I made a holding too like yoursl by cutting a slot in a piece of wood, pushed the pin with a scriber, followed up by a drawing pin, then pulled it the rest of the way with a pair of long nose pliers. Worked a treat, watch fits perfect now.
Cool accent too – where are you from?
you have to much hair in your hand hahahahah
This was helpful and your delivery is hilarious.
Very Timely video (lol). I just got my Invicta today, which I highly recommend and your info helped me size it up. Your voice seems familiar BTW.? thanks again.
It’s great you can find joy/frustration in DIY projects like this. There is satisfaction in the thought process, attempt and (eventual) success. Me, I walked my Oceanus downtown to the little jewelry store and let the guy with experience and tools do it for a nominal fee. Makes me feel somehow diminished, but at least I know it was done right, and that brings me joy.
