How to resize your wooden watch

First, find a flat work surface to prevent any small pieces of your watch from rolling away. Determine how many links you will need to remove for a comfortable fit. When you remove links, try to take the same number from each side to keep the back clasp centered. If you are removing an odd number of links, just use your best judgement.

	Tiny pins hold your band together. They have a top and bottom. If you look closely, one side of the small metal pin is slightly enlarged to keep it in place. Never push the pin through the link with its enlarged side first. And, never pull the pin out by its thin side. Follow the directions on this diagram to avoid damaging the wooden links.
	Step 1: Unscrew and open up the link removal tool. Line up a link’s pin hole with the needle on the tool. Slowly turn and tighten the link tool until its needle makes contact with the pin.
	Step 2: Continue to tighten the tool. As the needle pushes the pin out, you should see the slightly enlarged part of the pin emerge. If there is resistance, make sure the pin has a clear path. If there is still resistance, check that you are pushing the pin out in the correct direction.
	Step 3: Unscrew the needle from the link’s pinhole. Set the tool aside.
	Step 4: Pull the pin out completely.
	Step 5: Separate the links on the watch band.
	Step 6: Repeat Steps 2-6 to remove as many other links as necessary from the band.
	Step 7: Completely remove the link(s) and pin(s). Set them aside and store them in a safe place. You may need to use these parts later to resize your watch or replace any damaged links.
	Step 8: Line up and reconnect the band. Press in the pin(s) in the direction and orientation shown in the picture. If there is resistance, make sure you are pushing in the thin side of the pin first.
	Step 9: To completely push in the pin, use the link adjustment tool. Line up the needle and pin. Slowly turn the tool to tighten it.
	Step 10: Keep turning the tool until you fully insert the pin. Use the other pins on the band to judge the correct depth.
	Step 11: Loosen and remove the link tool. Check the fit of your watch, and readjust it as needed.
