The importance of a properly fitted bracelet
A watch, especially a mechanical watch like the Seiko 5, is more than just telling time. It's a true jewel of mechanical watchmaking , a reflection of your personality , and its watch strap plays a central role in both its aesthetics and comfort.
A poorly fitted strap impairs the readability of the dial , unbalances the watch on the wrist, and can even impair the automatic winding mechanism if the oscillating weight cannot rotate properly. That's why it's crucial to choose a quality strap, like those offered by Braxen , compatible with all Seiko watches , and designed for discerning men .
The essential tools for adjusting your bracelet
First and foremost, equip yourself with the appropriate tools, just as a professional watchmaker would:
- A unlocking tool or small pliers
- A plastic mallet to prevent impacts
- A smooth surface to avoid scratching sapphire or mineral glass
- For a rubber or nylon strap, a needle tool or a simple adjustment kit may suffice.
Steps to adjust a stainless steel bracelet
- Remove the watch from your wrist for greater accuracy.
- Identify the links to remove : on Seiko bracelets, arrows indicate the direction of the pins .
- Remove the pins carefully to avoid damaging the stainless steel casing .
- Remove one or more links , balancing them on each side of the bracelet.
- Replace the pins firmly to secure the assembly.
