Welcome to TRF.
If you bought it from a AD then he would do it for you.If not the most important thing is the correct size good quality screw driver.Just take your time you could put some tape on bracelet to protect it,but its a very easy job just take care.And make sure what side to remove links from, to keep the balance so the clasp still lines up under wrist.

Also make sure that you put enough downward force on the slot head so that it will not slip and cause damage to the screw head, esp on tight screws.

This method works well for link removal. Reinstalling a link requires a bit more finesse:

Hi jsc,

A big welcome to TRF. Most important question: What colour dial did you get? Black or Blue? If it's BLUE, then you're my best friend from today!! And if it's BLACK, Adrian (Uncle-AJ) will be yours.

If you're not sure about resizing, you should take it back to your AD who will perform the task within a few minutes for you.

Good luck and do post some pics.

JJ
