Why would you want to take off the links on your Citizen Watch?
There are some reasons you might need to remove the links on your the watch. The big one is to adjust the bracelet size so it fits your wrist better.
It might have been a present that didn’t fit perfectly, or you got it for someone else. Some people take them off to alter the appearance of the watch or to fix a damaged link.
What do you need to take off the links on your Citizen Watch?
Before you begin the process, ensure you have the necessary items. You’ll need some precision pliers, a gentle cloth, and a miniature flathead screwdriver. The pliers are for grasping the links, the cloth is to prevent damage to the watch, and the screwdriver can help with specific types of links.
How do you take off a link from your Citizen Watch safely?
Removing a link without damaging is extremely important to prevent your watch from being damaged. First, determine which type of link you are dealing with.
Some links have a spring bar, and others need a push pin tool. For the spring-loaded bars, just use a pair of pliers to carefully remove them. For the push pins or pins, carefully push them out using a screwdriver. Ensure that you are on a flat and stable surface and apply consistent pressure so as not to bend the band.
Can you do it yourself, or should you bring it to a pro?
Whether you can perform it independently or should consult a professional is determined by your level of confidence and the type of watch you own. If you have some experience or it is just a straightforward spring bar, you can handle it at home.
But if it has more complicated push pins or you’re not very confident, it’s best to let the professionals handle it. I promise to, you don’t want to ruin your nice Citizen watch.
How do you know how many links to take off?
Figuring out how many links to take off can be a bit of a guess. Usually, you can take off one link for every inch you want to make the watch band smaller.
But keep it simple and remove fewer links than you think you need. If you’re not sure, take a picture of the watch before you start, so that you can see how it looks later.
Figuring out how to remove links from my Citizen watch has shown me how essential patience and care are. It’s a bit of a delicate job that takes a steady hand and a bit of practice. And it’s quite rewarding to see what you’ve done. Therefore, next time you need to adjust or resize your watch, you’ll be prepared to go with certainty!
