No matter what I try to drive em out with they wont move! So much for that! I do want to say Thanks to Shawn for the bracelet as its awesome and certainly adds to the watch! 7dfe79adc2f0  Before............  |

It does look good. Make sure you don't lose the sleeves when you push the pins out....

The pin you use to push with needs to be smaller than the inside of the sleeve, so you are pushing directly on the pin. When you reassemble, insert the pin, then a sleeve from each side and get them below flush with the link.

I'm using as small of item as I can find and then hitting it with the hammer but still wont budge!
I just dont want to bang too hard on something less I bend it.
I wonder if the head of a sewing needle would work?

Got it!! I took one of the Wifes sewing needles and as she held the band in place I hammered it out and now with the help of perhaps a adjustment of the micro holes it will be fine!
BTW....... there are no collars inside! IF there were they stayed in!

Hopefully the last question I need to ask about this bracelet but do you see how the clasp doesnt sit flat against the rest of the bracelet? It bugs the hell outta me a when I look down t my wrist it looks un-natural. Could a slight adjustment on one of the micro adjustment holes make a difference? TIA  |

Move the micro adjustment pins out a hole or two; you have that thing synched up so tight it's bulging the clasp out away from your wrist. |

I adjusted the micro settings to the first hole and it still looks as before! Guess its something I will have to live with!? |

Hey Rene . . . . this whole thing is causing you too much stress. Definitely not worth it man . . . . send the whole thing to me and forget it ever existed . . . . it's rubbish anyway!  Oh . . . and don't forget the extra links . . . I've got big old wrists. |

Looks great, the clasp should definitely snap all the way down.

OK good to know! At least I got it correct. 7dfe79adc2f0o It would have been nice if it had been made with a flip over secondary piece like some of mine have that make it totally flat. Like this......  |

I like it the way it is, it's a much cleaner look IMO.

Keep in mind Jonathan's H-Link was developed expressly as a 1:1 but highly improved version of the Stelux produced bracelet that came on some generations of the 6139-600x so the clasp is not intended for a dive watch setup. The endlinks were produced for the 6138-300x case and it is just a happy coincidence that the lug profile is the same as a 6105-811x. It's a beautiful bracelet though I always wished for a 22/18 version with a fliplock clasp. Would have been the cat's meow. |
