Oysterlock safety clasp with easylink minor adjustment?

I want to move the pin in the oysterlock bracelet with easylink on my TT Daytona over one notch and was wondering if I can do it myself. If so, could someone provide me with instructions on how to get to the pin since there isn't a pinhole to access it? Also, what tools would I need to use to make this minor adjustment?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me with!

It's very easy to do yourself...

With the easy link in the open position, you'll see the two slots to access the spring pin....It's exactly the same concept as the SEL endlink on your bracelet!!



From there, you can use either a toothpick, a fine screwdriver, or a Bergeon bracelet tool.

Take your time, and you'll get it!

Here's what you need to push the pin and to remove the bracelet when you want.

I got the FB-504 and it works like a charm.

Thanks for your help! I'll give it a try! It doesn't look too difficult, even for me!

Easylink is just that easy no tools or toothpicks. The link rotates around itself and snaps in to take 5mm. Easily opens to expand. To lock push the bracelet towards the center of the clasp the link will rotate a little snap is heard when you press it down in the groove and you have made your watch 5 mm smaller. To open push that area from the back and it will unsnap. Hope this helps

You've explained how the easy link works, but the OP wanted to know how to move the pin for a closer fit......
In order to do so, some kind of tool is needed to push in the spring pin. Whether that be a toothpick, or a springbar pusher...
