First time adjusting a bracelet for my SNK355, took me around 20 minutes after watching your tutorial, thank you! Saved me a trip to the watchmaker. The watch wears so nicely and is so comfortable, too bad most new watches nowadays are a tad too big.
Thanks its very easy
L'accent français lol
PRO TIP TO ANYONE WHO IS DOING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME- some L links (the L shaped metal that you pop out of the wristband) are harder to take out than others. If you need to size down one link and you’ve got a few spots to choose from, try popping out different L links if one of them is difficult to remove
Hi Chris, thanks for this video. I just received a CASIO watch and had to do the same. I used a propelling pencil 0.3 mm and could remove with it the splints 🙂 Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for this. I managed to put a mini screwdriver through my index finger wrestling with the damn strap. I'd have probably done it again had I not found your video.
Advance the spring bar as you withdraw the punch OR lubricate the bar.
Thanks for the guidance, helpful and fun, enjoyed the process 🎉
Heat up strap hot water push through
This still works to this day. I just did it to my Seiko 5 SNKL23. The tool I used to pry up the clip was a multimeter prong. Worked flawlessly! Getting the link out was a tad tight and tricky but not too bad.
Please reduce the amount of times you say uh and um I'm about to gouge my eardrums out
Thank you so much! Great video!
Thanks to you, i could adjust my exact model as on the video, better than the shop i have close to my house! You rock!
Worthless video
3:14 Over three minutes to get to the point!
" uh uh um um uh uh uh " for three minutes
Thanks bro~~
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. My son appreciated this, greatly. ☮
That was really helpful! my Seiko has a similar bracelet and I just adjusted it watching your video. Thank you.
The Seiko 5 would cost no more than $300, often less than $150 and even as low as $50 in some countries while the Seiko Presage is probably over $1,000, probably over $1,300/$1,500. Now if you look for a get of assorted link pins, you'll never find one with thouse U-shaped links that the Seiko bracelet has which is really frustrating. They usually seem to last forever but they do wear down and especially if the jeweller likes popping a link pin out to open the bracelet for work instead of compressing the spring bar in the lug which might require a special tool to reach, you might end up with a loose pin that might fall out and be easily lost. Now, I did just have an overhaul done after 30 years and the link pin did fall out a few months after the overhaul, fortunately I had inadvertently found the pin on the garage fllor and set it aside till I figured out where it was from so I did not loose it but it is a bit worn and fits loosely in the bracelet so I've been looking for a link pin set that includes u-shaped pins and I haven't found one. Keep the links and pins that you remove when you buy a watch, especially if the pins are U shaped or L shaped as they are just very hard to impossible to find. Replacement bracelets are probably easier to purchase than replacement pins. Mind you, the watch case, manual, and removed links and pins were probable lost decades ago though I probably did try to save them (I think the department store that I bought my Seiko 5 from, actually packed it in a box and manual for a different Seiko such as the Seiko Presage as much of the usage instructions were just wrong).
Ok Thanks ! Sorted .... took 3 min.... Thanks!
Great tutorial, thank you!
Why does yours slide off so easily I’ve applied all the force I could but it still won’t come off
Having trouble getting the end link back on
Super video
Just what i needed to know, thank you!
Thats exactly what I was looking for thanks a lot 🎉
thanks mate!! i just adjusted mine and i'm not good at this sort of stuff! your tutorial made it easy
This is fuckin impossible. Im 6'2" 260lbs bench 340 lbs and i cant push one pin out. I hate seiko now just because of this alone. I have 30 other watches, omega, tissot, rolex, ect and never had a problem. I feel like im scratching up the metal and ruining it by trying to push on this damn pin. And ive tried every pin on here.
Hands down the worst bracelet I had to work with.
Купил Seiko5 SNKL23J очень хорошие автоматические часы за небольшую цену!
Heey back off guys have some respect this man took the time to make us a video he didn't have to do that ...he chose to.
Thanks for the video!
I sized mine right in the garbage can on my padi 21 won't buy anymore watches with that shit
Small dab of silicone works wonders.
Can you please tell me, since I'm about to buy this watch and it's mine first manual winding mechanical watch...can I overwind it or it has some sort of prevent overwind mechanism? What would you suggest me regarding the winding of this watch?
Thanks!
Just got it done! Wasn’t too bad. Spring only flew twice but found it thankfully.
You also lose springs changing pickups on electric guitars. Kind of a spring over screw situation and the hole is tiny. Ive shot so many springs across my bench that I now have a catcher in the general area they tend to go. LOL
You just saved me at least $50, thank you sir!
Does anyone know what the size (thickness) of the tubes and collars are for the seiko marine master?
than😊ks
Great video
Thanks ❤
Are the pin size longer than the width of the strap?
Danke
Thanks for this video! Very helpful!
Tum ganje ho hana
Very helpful and informative, thanks!
I have the same set, what does the WT relate to? WT40 fine and W0.5 coarse?
Perfect, thank you for the video. I was able to get my Seiko 5 band just where I needed it.
