Who in the forum can remove a permanent link from my 93150 bracelet?

Hi gents.

I'm not able to remove the permanent link on the 6 o'clock side...
This would turn the bracelet more balanced and comfortable, but I tried removing with no luck.
My local AD refused to do it and a known watch repairman I know also politely refused, since he never done it before.

Has anyone here ever done it successfully and willing to help me?


Thanks

Easy.

REMOVE bracelet. Tape bracelet in all areas that you want to preserve/not scratch, leaving the link you want to be removed-exposed.

Clamp the link you want removed into a vise as hard as you can (clamp down on the actual link your removing!).

Using a flat grip vise-grips, grab the OTHER side of the link your removing.

From here, you use the vise grips to pull the link apart. It will require a SLIGHT twisting motion while pulling them apart. It takes all of about 10-15 minutes total if your taking your time/being careful.

I will gladly help you, but you have to send to Norway.

Morten, thanks for the help.
I sent a PM, but after looking at my mailbox, I have 0 items in the Sent Items ?!?? I'm not sure if you received it. Please let me know. It's probably easier to talk via email.

Thanks

After browsing the forum, it seems that the PM system doesn't save the messages in Sent Items unless you switch that function on, which I did, so I suppose you receive a PM from me.

It is not difficult as they simply pull apart. However, to get a grip on the link to do this you might destroy the link.

So it's not easy to do properly then ?!

What did you use to pull it apart?
