1) When sizing a bracelet, be sure to place the watch on a soft surface so that the case, crystal and bracelet will not be scratched.
2) Before sizing, accurately measure the length to be cut/adjusted. Once a bracelet is cut, it cannot be restored. We recommend cutting the bracelet in gradual steps, rather than all at once.
3) Most bracelets can be cut/adjusted on both sides. It is important to adjust the bracelet equally on both sides so that the watch is centered and the clasp is positioned behind the wrist.
4) When using bracelet-adjusting screwdriver (S‑914), be sure that the screwdriver's blade diameter is equal to that of the screw's head, as using even a slightly larger blade will damage the bracelet or clasp.
5) When removing links, caution should be taken so that none of the small internal parts are lost.
6) Many bracelets have threefold clasps. These bracelets can be adjusted by moving the position of the bracelet within the clasp as illustrated. (Illustration shows bracelet being lengthened.)
a). Locate pushpin holes on the clasp.Using a pin‑pusher, press the spring bar in and twist gently for removal. (Fig. 1)
b). Insert pushpin in the bracelet and move the bracelet to desired position (Fig. 2). Make sure one end of the pin is securely in the pushpin hole and depress the spring bar until it fits in the top hole of the clasp. (Fig. 3)
