Rolex 16618 remove link in band.

The band is a 92908 and I can’t figure out how to remove a link. It doesn’t have a slot for a screw driver. It looks like they’re push pins but they’re not because I’ve tried. Anybody know how to remove a link from it?

Hi, they are pin/tubes, you need a pin driving tool, a bracelet labyrinth and a hammer :)

If you're unsure, go to a watchmaker. It's the same principle as many other watches use, Patek, TAG, Longines etc... it's an older iteration of the bracelet.

A pin vise (that’s what I call it, anyway) works fine. You can pick one up for < $20 and DIY.

When did the 16618 bracelet change from pins to screws?
