Hi thanks for a great video, I appreciate your patience. Is there anything I can do about the same type of pins when they stick out a little. I poke them back but 5 minutes later, they end up catching clothing and plucking fabric. Cheers in advance
They most likely need to be manufactured shorter. There is a chance the pin end is hollow with the spring inside. If they are attempted to be filed shorter, the spring might come out. If the ends are solid wire, with the spring starting further away from the ends, filing works.
My watch is plastic but when I try to put it in it just pinched my finger really hard. Even with a tweezer because it slips out of the tweezer and the force on it
Everything breaks in material science, depending on magnitude and direction of force (a tractor will break that watch) and material chemistry (window glass breaks but fiberglass does not), so stainless steel designed for a purpose should work for the purpose (its design loads and direction)
Can someone please please help.me? I've been trying for months to find out what the square things are called that go around the spring to make the watch band fit my lugs? I cant find anything on Google nor the name for months but they are on almost every watch its driving me absolutely insane please help?
1 drill deeper hole with jewelry drill bit sizes, $6 for a set at www.leevalley.com product # 81D40.27 2 get a pin that fits, there are different sizes
I was trying to extend my strip and did the wrong hole, spring exploded into my face, sadly i cant buy these and via amazon itd cost me at least 15€, hope the repair shop wont want much xd, thanks anyway
@@terryquinn1419 you scratch the watch lugs multiple times with the exacto blade. There are specific tool available to remove and reinstall watch bracelets. Your method with with an exacto blade is dangerous, crude and ineffective. No offense meant.
Who else fast-forward the video to get to the point

Hope you enjoy
I used very end of a pair of vicegrip pliers to pinch one end of the bar flat. Worked kie a charm, 😸Thank you again,
Does stainless steel also break easily

Thanks! Very helpful!

Thanks I repair my fav watch
Glad I could help
What if the hole is not deep enough and the pin always pop out ? What should i do ?

2 get a pin that fits, there are different sizes

Ouch, how did your story end?
I have a Rolex Daytona, no matter what I do the spring pops out, any advice ?
Pin is possibly 1 mm too long. Do not try to cut is shorter. There might be dirt in the hole the spring bar fits in.
Hy I have lost this pin only
Same
buy a new one. Problem solved.
But i cant fix it why????
Manual dexterity?
Pin end diameter size?
Who knows ...
thanks

i have literally the same watch as you!
Sorry, but this is wrong in so many ways.
Really? How so?
