They are very well made, but tinkering with them is a real pain. I appreciate the build quality much more after doing it though.

I gave up after a half hour of trying, wasn’t even able to get one screw loose. Can’t even take to a jeweler because they are all closed.

I thought the jubilee uses pins and collars?

Pin and collar is a pain in the backside, ive bought a cheap bracelet tool and managed to break it

Now i just let someone that knows what theyre doing figure it out

That said, ive had a rolex screw come loose but not once had a seiko pin pop out

I do not even try with my Seiko bracelets. I just let my AD handle it.

It probably does. But I thought we were talking about a Seiko jubilee that comes on a Seiko SKX?

On my SKX I rest the bracelet on an eraser and use a small hammer and paper clip ... works like a charm

It’s all in the tools. I ordered a 1.4m watch screwdriver and was able to get them out 1-2-3!
