Bulova watch, pliers, push pinIn order to remove links from a watch bracelet, you will need a few tools. All I needed was two pairs of pliers and a push pin.

1) That they are pins and not screws (for if they were screws you would use a different method to remove the links from the watch bracelet)
2) That is the direction that the pin must be punched out
The pin is split on the bottom end, and that acts as a retainer as they "pop" open when they are driven back in.
Align the exit hole of the watch bracelet link over the opening of the pliers so that no damage will come to the pin as it is driven out. I used a push pin because it has a nice flat top to push against.

Grab it with the pliers and gently pull it out, making sure not to damage the end of the pin. (It really should not require much force to pull it out at this point).
