Swatch Metal Bracelet Adjustment

To adjust the length of a Swatch metal bracelet, all you need is an ice pick and a long-nose pliers.

Identify the metal link you want to remove. Note the arrow marking on the underside of the link. Use the ice pick to push out the split pin in the direction of the arrow. Pull out the split pin from the other side using the pliers. If required, remove more links using the same procedure.

Once done, put the bracelet back together, and push the split pin back in the opposite direction of the arrow. These split pins are quite flimsy - usually breaking into two. If you need spares, you can go here or here.
