How to Remove Links from a Watch
These are instructions on how to remove links from a watch bracelet. The example is a Bulova watch, but this will work for similar watch bands
Instructions
Bulova watch, pliers, push pin
In order to remove links from a watch bracelet, you will need a few tools. All I needed was two pairs of pliers and a push pin.
watch bracelet arrows
Notice you can see the arrows embedded on the watch bracelet, which tell you two things:
1) That they are pins and not screws (for if they were screws you would use a different method to remove the links from the watch bracelet)
2) That is the direction that the pin must be punched out
The pin is split on the bottom end, and that acts as a retainer as they "pop" open when they are driven back in.
Align the exit hole of the watch bracelet link over the opening of the pliers so that no damage will come to the pin as it is driven out. I used a push pin because it has a nice flat top to push against.
watch bracelet pin
You should now be able to see the pin as it sticks through.
Grab it with the pliers and gently pull it out, making sure not to damage the end of the pin. (It really should not require much force to pull it out at this point).
- Repeat the steps to remove links from the watch bracelet until it is the right size.
A handy trick is to insert a small paperclip into the holes as a temporary pin, so that you may test fit the watch.
- Re-assemble the watch bracelet much like you took it apart, however you will be placing the pin back through the bottom against the arrow direction and slightly pressing it back into place (remember the pin is split so do not hammer on it).
Once most of the pin is in, you may press on it to seat it back into position. None of the pin should be extending outside the bracelet.
What Is Quartz Movement in Watches?
Watch image by Aqeel Ahmed from Many watches are equipped with a quartz movement, which provides very accurate performance at a minimal cost. Quartz crystals, common in many electronic devices, provide a consistent way of measuring time over a wide range of environmental conditions. A battery powers most quartz-movement watches, which can last years due to the crystal's energy efficiency.
Theory of Operation:
- A quartz-movement relies on a series of electronic pulses.The quartz crystal creates a constant set of pulses, typically at a rate of 32,768 oscillations per second (Hz). An electronic circuit monitors this stream of pulses and outputs one pulse for every 32,768 input pulses it receives. This output pulse is now at a frequency of one pulse per second and is the time reference for the watch. The display updates once each second.
Quartz Crystal:
- A quartz crystal is commonly used to generate a time base.A quartz crystal is a small piece of either fabricated or naturally occurring silicon dioxide. This crystal is a specific size and orientation and has well-defined physical properties. Silicon dioxide has a piezoelectric property, meaning that it will oscillate when exposed to an electric voltage. This oscillation is dependent upon the cut of the crystal, but does not vary over temperature.
Oscillator Circuit:
- When connected to a quartz crystal, an oscillator circuit will generate a constant stream of pulses based upon the characteristic frequency of the crystal. For a watch, a crystal of 32.768 kHz is common. A battery powers the oscillator circuit that provides a constant frequency output independent of temperature, voltage fluctuations or movement of the watch.
Divide-by circuit:
- A divide-by circuit converts from high to low frequencies.The output of the oscillator feeds into a circuit called a counter. This circuit counts the number of input pulses it receives, and issues a single output pulse when it reaches a pre-determined value. For the 32.768 kHz example, a 15-bit counter is used. A 15-bit counter issues one output pulse for every 32,768 input pulses it receives, and therefore outputs one pulse per second.
Time display:
- A quartz movement watch may have a digital or analog displayThe time display of a quartz-movement watch may be analog or digital. For an analog display, a small stepper motor will move the second hand 1/60th of the watch's circumference for each pulse. A digital display will update the display's seconds digits by one for each pulse
How to Care for a Quartz Watch Movement?
- Change the watch's battery every two years, even if it works fine. Take it to a jeweler, because he has the tools to recreate the seal on the back after he replaces the battery
- Take your watch to a jeweler every six months for an inspection. He will check the battery, remove thickened oil if needed and clean the parts
- Keep a leather strap away from water. Dry it immediately if you get it wet. Polish a metal strap with a soft, damp toothbrush to remove dirt and oil build-up
- Keep your watch away from sunlight and damp areas. Water can seep into the face of the watch, and sunlight can fade the strap. Strong heat or sunlight can cause the battery to leak
- Do not drop your watch on a hard surface, which can dislodge the crystal bar or crack the faceplate
- Wear your watch daily to keep it accurate. Cold quartz watches lose their accuracy but regain it once they are warmed
Why Do Men Wear Watches on Their Left Arm?
Though portable timepieces were invented 300 years before the first wristwatch, they were not as widely popular as the pocket watch. The pocket watch design demanded the use of the right hand to wind and set it and therefore influenced the orientation of the wristwatch that became the standard for timepieces in World War I and beyond
- Religion Creates Demand: In the late 15th century, the first portable timepiece, later known as the "pocket watch," was invented in Germany by Peter Henlein. The rise of the watch was heavily influenced by the Reformation in the 16th century. Adherents of Calvinism were restricted from wearing elaborate clothing and jewelry. However, the watch was considered a useful item, creating a boon for the jewelry makers in Geneva, Switzerland, who were no longer profiting from jewelry sales
- The Watch Boom: Advances in technology, precision and design continued for the next two centuries, making Swiss watches world-renown as the gold standard of quality. Household names such as Chopard, Movado and Patek-Philippe emerged in Switzerland as well as neighboring countries. All competed to invent the most coveted timepieces. In 1810, Abraham Louis Breguet became the first documented inventor of the wristwatch prototype we know today. Though other watch companies copied and improved the wristwatch design, they were not a popular accessory
- Form and Function: Men did not commonly wear a wristwatch until more than a hundred years after Breguet's prototype. Wristwatches became synonymous with "ladies jewelry," and men still continued to carry loose or chain-linked timepieces. As a result, tailors began to sew a pocket on men's suit vests to conveniently house the timepiece for checking or winding, hence the term "pocket watch." These early watches required setting and winding with an instrument, such as the key, or later, with fingers on a crown dial. As a practical consideration, winding a watch was more efficiently executed with one's more dexterous right hand as approximately 90 percent of the population is right-handed. Therefore, suit pockets and watches were worn on the left side for storing and holding in hand.
- From Breguet To Barracks: World War I marked the shift when wristwatches became a more masculine symbol of fashion. Scores of soldiers were given military-issue watches or wore their own pocket watches modified to fit the wrist, to free both of their hands for combat equipment. Pilots wore the face of their watch on the inside of their left wrist to see the time while flying, enabling the use of their right hand for panel controls. Since most of these men formerly wore pocket watches on the left, they oriented their wristwatch accordingly. Likewise, instead of using the right hand to wind the watch, it is now necessary to buckle a strap or metal bracelet
- Right Hand Watches: Due to the proliferation of watches designed to be worn on the left, those designed to be worn on the right hand are extremely rare and highly valuable to collectors. Though there are more modern watches available for the left-handed consumer, they lack demand and are manufactured less
How to Adjust a Watch Band?
- You will need a tool that looks like a small ice pick but has a hook shaped end
- Wearing a leather glove grasp the watch so that you can see the ends of the pins. You may need a magnifying glass. One end of the pins will be solid and the opposite will be two pieces pressed together. The watch pins look like miniature hair pins, they are just doubled stainless steel wire that have been flattened at one end
- You will want to estimate how many pins and links to remove to make the band fit. You can do small adjustments on many watches by sliding the clasp up a notch or two with the spring loaded pins
- Major adjustments require removing pins though
- Using the curved end pick, hold the watch band firmly and press the pick into the solid end of one of the pins with a fair amount of pressure. You should see the pin begin to push out the opposite side
- Once the pin is far enough out to grasp it with the needle nose pliers go ahead and grasp it and pull it on through. The Band will come apart at that link. Repeat the same procedure for the link above, or a couple of links. You want to remove an equal amount of links from each side of the watch band so that it is balanced but do one side at a time
- Go ahead and place the links back together once you have removed the ones you wanted to get rid of. Push the pin through the hole with your pliers. You may need to place the watch firmly against a table edge, in the leather glove, and press firmly with the closed end of the pliers
- Now repeat the procedure with the opposite side of the watch band and remove the same amount you did from the previous side
