Hi, just bought an Audemars piguet replica and I’m struggling to take the links out, does any one have any tips on how to take them out?

But unfortunately there are no arrows to suggest which way to push

Wow

Ok, yep, they are screws

Screw Driver will sought that out.

 

For future reference, if you do have pins on a bracelet and no arrows to show direction, the end with the split in it (which should be flush with the links) is the end that comes out. So, push out from the opposite end (which is often not flush with the links)

Using anything else will most likely end up with you scratching the bracelet, even if you’re really careful.

I do not recommend using anything else, but if you’re desperate then a razor blade or end of a sharp knife may work.

AGAIN, I do not recommend this. You may get the links out, but you will also scratch them. 

Order yourself a cheap watch tool kit from eBay. For around $15 you can get something with all the tools you need for basic fixes

the links are pretty easy to remove with the right screw driver. I managed to pick up a set of screw drivers from Ebay for about £3

It's a 2-step system for all AP bracelets.  You need to unscrew the screws first.  Then you need to use a pin-pusher on the opposite side.  When I got my first AP, I too was very confused.
