Brietling bracelet sizing, is this a pin and collar?

Recommended Posts

When I first looked at this I thought it was the simple screw in pin. I unscrewed a screw and it was just that, a tiny screw, not a pin. I looked closer and now I am guessing that this is perhaps a Pin and collar but no little collar came out when I turned and taped it to see it one would fall out. So here I am.

 

Does this look to be pin and collar or perhaps it comes apart in a way I have not seen yet. Advice (aside from just taking it to my local watch maker)?

You have to take both of the screws out for Breitling bracelets.

Ah, tricky little rascal but I think I got it now! Thanks!

I contemplated it, but the medication is kicking in and I am staying calm for the time :rofl:

Oh...I know how you feel. I thought it was strange that the wife and the dog both disappeared when I got my watch tools out!

Its almost as bad as putting a jigsaw puzzle together when its time to put things back into place! Fortunately I only had to remove 1 link!

If I had to do it again I would take a picture first. It can be a slight challenge putting it back together and getting the right piece in the right place sort of like a puzzle. Thanks fatarms for pointing me in the right direction.

I remember my fist time sizing that particular bracelet, absolute nightmare. I did get it done but a few choice words were muttered!
