I picked this 7005-8062 up yesterday. It is in really good condition esp after a polish. The end link is missing a part to the link. The previous owner looks like they fashioned a part from another watch. The good news is I have plenty of bracelet to play with so was thinking of stealing a piece from the clasp end. Just can’t figure out how to remove the link.

See those holes in the last three links; you put a screw driver in there and push the link pin(which will be flat as seen from the side of the bracelet) towards the outside of the bracelet. If you look closely, you will see a small bump on the pin in the hole.

If you look closely, you will see a small bump on the pin in the hole. I have done this. I use a set of rather industrial “jewelers screwdrivers” and not the ones I use on movements. Good luck it can be done !

I believe these links have small, short spring bars holding them in?
Put a sharp object in the holes on each side of the link and push towards the center to disengage the bar.

@cobrajet you win the internet today! It’s a spring bar.... it’s still a pain in the A.

Must thank tritto who may have told me it was a spring bar before I stick it on the forum. Thanks all for your input. It is now logged on the net. Snakeskin bracelet had pins. Another example of Seiko’s occasional over engineering

It's even more fun when those spring bars are rusted solid.
