Super Jubilee 63200 "fixed" link removal

Hi there,

I bought my wife a DJ 116234 as a wedding gift but she has very small wrists and I need to get some of the fixed links removed.

I've tried my AD and an independent and they both said it can't be done.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know for sure, but I suspect it's the same as the Oyster bracelet. Essentially, you pull the link apart (side to side) with a fairly large amount of force. It ruins the removed link, but nothing else is damaged.

Yes, the fixed links will be ruined, but it CAN be done.

You could have done it yourself with masking tape and two vice grips.
