Removing a Link From The Watch Band

Hi Folks
just purchased the Casio Illuminator #2747. What a beautiful watch.

I need to know how to remove a link from the band. The number on the band is S-1045DV. I have noticed 3 links on one side and 4 on the other have little arrows on the back of each link. I suppose these are the removable ones.

I need to know how to get them off without damaging this great watch.

THANK YOU very much

Removing Link from Casio Band
by: Doug Gottron

Special Tool is not required.

1) Hold band at a slight angle on a firm surface and using a tiny screwdriver, tap the small pin (showing through the exposed hole) in the direction of the arrow. I used a hammer and put the watch and band on a magazine.

2) This will drive the entire link pin out of the side of the band.

3) Remove the next link the same way, keeping in mind that links should be removed evenly as needed from both sides of the band.

4) When the lenth is correct, re-insert the pin and make sure it is pushed in completely.

Hey Bill!

I put a picture in this just to show one of the models of this watch. Casio has several variations of the 2747. Don't know if this one is yours or not, but as far as removing the links goes, they are all the same.

The simple answer to your question is to take the watch to a local jeweler or watch repair shop and have them remove the links for you. In order to do this job safely, you need a special pin pusher tool. The pins in this bracelet are expansion pins which actually use pressure to stay in place. If the pins are damaged in any way when you are removing or replacing them, you run the risk of having them get loose and falling out while you are wearing the watch.

If you want to do the job yourself, you will need to invest in one of these tools. Here is a link to an inexpensive one that is available on Amazon:

Hope that helps. Take care.
