Ordered the wera tool you advised. Worked perfectly on my Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph 600m. No jewellery tool was loosening those tiny screws, and didn't want anyone else attempting to move them or accidentally scratching the link. Thank you for the video.
Great man, I just got my omega and think to shorten belt with use hummer and remove clip but after watching your video it is gentle and screws mechanics are there. You almost save my precious watch. 🌿
I watched the video, purchased the requisite tools and followed your instructions to the letter. I took my time and successfully accomplished the task of resizing the bracelet on my Seamaster. Thank you so much for the video and superb instruction!
Very nice tutorial. I was able to adjust my Seamaster with no issues.
Thank you! This is the best tutorial I've seen for my Aqua terra. Very clear video, good instructions, and showed all the tools required.
I have this watch in black and it’s my pride and joy.
Thank you for coming to the rescue. I still don't understand why the pin wasn't fitting far enough in the hole so that I had problems getting the second screw in. I managed in the end but not sure what I did different.
It’s fiddly. There’s no doubt about it.
I got a very good deal on the old SMP 300 ceramic last year. I've always fancied a PO though.
Great Video, i used these instructions for my New 1861 Speedmaster, & worked just fine
Very helpful. Thank you! I bought my Seamaster through Chrono24 and needed to size the bracelet myself.
Nice, we just got an exact watch, will remove 2 links on each side.
Excellent tutorial, just the info I needed, thank you!
Very helpful man. Thanks!
I have a screw down crystal press and that holds the bracelet down flat and can't move. then I get my "140" sized screwdrivers with rubber non-slip grips on both sides and it's super easy. I don't need no masking tape stuff as my technique is too solid.
Superbly done, very clear, calm instruction. Thank you for your public service in sharing your knowledge and skills. Will use this to adjust the bracelet on my Omega :)
Thanks for the video, quick question - did you need to heat up the screws? Do they really come out that easily? (Assuming the had lock tire on them)
They did come out pretty easy. I have heard that they can be a little difficult though. If so, heat with a hair dryer or submerge in hot water. Obviously protect the watch head as you don’t want to get heat into it. Try avoiding direct flame as this can discolour the link. If you damage a screw head, don’t panic. Either use one of the screws from the spare links or order some in from Omega.
perfect tutorial, cheers!
One question... will the screws fall out when i didnt use loctite?
Julian Preisinger no, but you would need to apply more torque to the screw to tighten it. This can mash the screw head a little. Using Loctite you don’t need to apply as much so less likely to damage the screw. To be honest, as long as you use a decent quality screw driver, you should be ok. The screws are tiny, so the damage will not be obvious. Good luck.
Best tutorial I've seen. Now I'll have more confidence in adjusting my 300m bracelet. Thank you!
That is a great looking watch! Thanks for the vid.
Excellent advice... thank you. 👍🇬🇧
You mentioned that there's no half links. My seamaster came with them.
#The_English_Watch Great tips, any chance you can show best method for older Seamaster bracelete 9 piece links version without screws please?
Thank you. I managed to properly adjust my bracelet thanks to your video tutorial. Unfortunately I slightly scratched the link screws. Do you know if there is a way to find new ? Thank you very much.
I’m sure you’d be better looking to get it polished out rather than replace as the links aren’t cheap. Worth asking your Rolex AD.
Greatly appreciated thanks 👍
still not a single youtube video thats tells me how to remove an omega link crazy none are on youtube
Thank you very much.
if you need to remove two to three links, do you need to take one link from each side or . . .
Yes, remove links to balance the clasp so it remains parallel to the watch head. Normally if removing even numbers you take an equal number off each side. If odd, it depends how the folding part of the clasp sits on your wrist.
Tnx!
These links are damn near impossible to unscrew. The microscopic screws are practically welded in there they are so tight. I destroyed my hand just trying to take out two links.
It can be that the screws have too much thread lock on them. I haven’t tried it, but I understand you can use heat to ease this.
Having the same exact problem. Local jeweler couldn’t even get them off!
Best is to use the hollow T type driver..👍🏻
It is if you have one. I find the hollow T can be fragile which can get expensive. Probably the idiot on the end that’s not doing it right, ahem 🙄
@@TheEnglishWatch I have the 1.6mm from Panerai..it won’t easily strip and slip the screw head as it has left and right support resting on the screw head..yes it is easily broken if over torque..I tried your method on the Tudor BB41 using 1.4 normal chesel flat head driver and it works too..😁👍🏻
I’m a big fan of Omega watches especially the Speedmaster moon watch even the current model 2021 “ When come to their bracelets design are real pain in the ass “ Those tiny screws to secure both end was too small for anyone to hold on to it “ In any case u drop one ...u have hard time search for it “ The research design department was far from their deep sleep in dreamland “
Cheers.
Hi, where is the link to the tool? got one generic from Amaozn, not working.
All the tools I use are on my Amazon store that can be accessed here:
linktr.ee/theenglishwatch
I can’t for the life of me remove the screws on the link! Whatever glue they use is serious stuff, my local watch jeweler had trouble with it as well
They can be tight. You can try warming with a hair dryer, that can work. Sometimes, you need to sacrifice the screw and order a new one from Omega. I’ve called their service team before and had stuff sent out free.
I'm just about to resize my Omega AT, why did you not try using heat instead of tapping the watch which could cause damage?
The tapping is only to release the pin so I don't have to unscrew the opposite side. Use heat if the screws are stiff, but mine weren't.
@@TheEnglishWatch Thanks, just done mine also with a 1.8mm flathead screwdriver. The screws were not stiff and I didn't need to tap the heads, relatively easy job but you have to be very precise when fitting the screws back in!
Do you know if thay have the micro adjustable for the omega seamaster aqua terra?
No, the AT has a double deployant clasp, but I think does have half links, so should be easy to get the right fit. It’s super comfortable.
Where can I buy some replacement screws? I have the ocean gmt
Try calling Omega service. They may just send you some. Phone number on their web site for your area.
You call yourself the english watch. Unless I'm mistaken is the logo you use not the flag of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland?
Where are the links for the tools you used?
You can access the website or go direct to my amazon shop here…..linktr.ee/theenglishwatch
Actually the links are 9mm. You did not measure C-C between the screws. The half links are 6mm C-C.
Man i know this is gonna sound bad but i somewhat prefer the punch thru links
You know where you are with a punch through. Screws are easily damaged, and make the bracelet thicker.
Can I please ask how big is your wrist?
6.75” not sure where this is in the range. I’m going average.
@@TheEnglishWatch looks good on your wrist. I have a white dial 43.5mm planet ocean and a 7.5 inch wrist and it sits very well on mine. I think people shouldn’t be out of with the size of the planet ocean, it’s very versatile and the ceramic dial is stunning regardless of colour.
Meant to say put off with the size*
I agree. Been wearing mine all week on the bracelet. Loving it.
Must use proper Bergeron tool. Agreed. Why ruin a $$$$$$$ watch with a crappy Chinese screw driver.
Just take it to an AD and get them to do it. You paid enough money for it so make them earn it.
The screws in the links are all chewed up. Horrible job from whoever changed them.
Yes. I have found that on both my Omega and Rolex. Omega changed all the screws FOC when it went in for some work last year. Looks like new now. I have acquired some genuine Rolex screws and will change out the mashed ones. Just goes to show, the AD is as likely to burn the screws as the owner.
