3590.50 96’ full set mint

Hey folks,

Just got a birth year 96’ 3590.50 in absolutely pristine condition. Full box & papers and a great patina.

I need to remove on link, now I understand that it is a pin and collar system just like in Seikos, correct?

But how do know which side to push?

Thank you.

Congratulations! I've sized many watches with the pin and tube system, typically there will be some type of indication. Although these may not have arrows or anything, often times the side you push / hammer through will be a bit flatter.

However, hopefully someone who has sized one of these exact models can provide you with the right direction. Either way it should be fairly simple once you determine the direction.

Enjoy in good health!

Nice Omega

Be careful sizing the bracelet because if you mangle pins or collars they're probably not easy to replace. Easy does it.
