removing LINKS in a “speidel twist” wristband 

Took me nearly an hour - accompanied by a lot of bad language - but I did it ... couldn't have done it without you - many thanks indeed.

After a 20 minute struggle with using another video, you told me to close one half before attempting to insert the second staple. Thank you.

I just resized mine in my work truck with a pair of wire cutters and a 3lb sledgehammer. Thanks for the video. You’re a hero.

I have an older Speidel watchband which used to belong to my late father-in-law. I love it, but over the years it had gotten quite loose. I was getting sick and tired of my watch floating around my wrist, so after coming across this video I decided to give it a go and remove a couple of links. I did it and now my watch fits snugly but comfortably. Thank you for this video, is a great guide on how to do this!

About three weeks ago I worked out with great difficulty how to get the job done. Today YT suggested your video for the first time. You have beautifully depicted what I unfortunately did not know at the time.

I bought a new watch for my teeny tiny mother and didn’t want to wait for a jeweler to shorten the band for her wrist. This worked!! I used my jewelry-making tools and had it done in about half hour. It’s a fiddly job for sure. Less time than it would take to drive to the shop. Thank you!!!

Thank you for this video! It was the most helpful video I found on youtube in assisting me through the link adjustment process for expansion bands (as a first timer).

That was very helpful. This is way more work that I want to attempt on my Grandpa's old watch, so I've placed the band aside, safely, and I'm just ordering a leather one. I'd hate to loose a pin or something on a 60+ year old watch. The old band is too large for me. Thank you for the upload 😊

Thanks for the help. The last pin was hard to get in. I may have done mine slightly different, but it looks and fits great. Took about 20 minutes.

Thank you for this video! This was really helpful. To those trying this: have patience!!

Thanks. Very helpful. Saved me from breaking down to buy a new, smaller one off eBay.

This is one of the hardest tasks I've done in my life. Have your patience ready.

Thanks for making this video! Wow, what a tedious process...

Your channel is awesome

Thank you for this video! This helped me save my Grandfather's watch, after loosing him, this thing means the world to me ❤

I shortened my band, it was a bit of a pain to do. I was dreading it having done it years ago on my Seiko band. I remember that. Thank you for your how to video.

Thank you this was the first time I worked on a watch and this was really helpful

nice tutorial !

Super helpful, i was recently given my great grandpas watch like this that's a bit too big, definitely going to use this video while I'm adjusting it

Thanks for your video. ❤

Wow,, very straight forward, no bull trying to impress, simple. Thank you. No one could have explained better. 😊

Thank you.

Thanks very much.

Dirty fingernails, mechanics tools,fuckit and done. 🧐 I am inspired,thank you.💪🏻

Maybe get some Lava for those ECU fingers…

Thanks!

My band is a little tight on my wrist: is it possible to add links via this same process?

these look so complex.

Sprydel , Never heard of them?

What’s all the shaking?
