You have to get a needle and a small hammer. You first cut the point of the needle off, and then you place the needle on the end of the pin holding the links together. Once you have punched it completely out add the links needed and add a little oil (cooking oil is fine) to the pin and tap it back in with the hammer.

To add to this, it is best to hold the watch steady in a vice or something similar, but put a soft cloth against the edges of the vice to avoid scratching your watch. Best advice would be to take it to the professionals, at your local jewellers, as not all watches are tap out pins.

What do you clean metal watch band with?

You can use an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner to do the job. Put the watch band in it, add water, switch it on for 3 minutes. The ultrasonic waves produce microscopic bubbles which loosen surface dirt and dust on the watch band.


What is the proper way to size men's watches?

The best way to size a watch is to find an old watch he isn't wearing and bring that in so they can match the size. If that's not an option, buy a watch with links rather than a band so that it can be sized easily by removing links.

What is the length of a men's standard watch band?

Most watchbands are approximately 7.40 inches long. To find out the length you need, measure the wrist, add 1.75" for the buckle and go from there. If you are especially large, a local clock/timepiece shop should be able to order what you need. For a metal, linked, watchband, the links can be removed to make it the correct size, or you can order a second band to obtain the needed links.


Is the watch band replaceable?

How do you adjust the watch band of a puritan watch?

Hi, If your band is the same as mine this is how you do it. My band has little arrows inside each link. The arrow shows the direction that the pins that hold the links together must be moved in to remove the pins and thus the links. To do this take a thumb tack and locate the end of the pin on the side of the band opposite the side that the arrow points to. You need to push very hard to get the pin to move. Once it does move it will stick out on the side Get some plyers and pull the pin the rest of the way out. Once you remove enough pins and links to get the band sized correctly, push the pin back in so that it is oriented the same as it was before. You will need to force the last bit of the pin in place. To do this I used the flat side of a standard screw driver. I hope this helps
