Removing a Sinn watch band pin can be done easily with the right tools and technique. To ensure a smooth removal process without damaging the watch, it is recommended to have a proper strap tool and a silicone mat or soft towel to prevent scratches.
To begin, detach the bracelet or clasp somewhere to lay the bracelet flat to the sides of the watch. If you need to adjust the length of the band, remove a link using the supplied hex keys.
Next, lay the watch on its face with the bracelet to the sides and wrap each lug with tape to prevent scratches. Insert the forked end of the strap tool into either slot at one edge of the end link. Hook onto the pin and push it away from the lug while using a finger to push the link upward from the bottom. The pin will come out of the hole, allowing the end link to be moved enough to prevent the pin from re-entering the hole. Hold it in that position and repeat the process for the other pin. Once both pins are out, slide the end link straight up and out.
To reinstall the bracelet, separate it into two pieces and affix an end link to the bracelet by inserting a pin. Slide the end link down between the lugs until each end of the pin is resting on top of the back side of each lug. Slide the pin towards the top, positioning it just inside the edge of the lug. Hold the lug down against the case, and with the pin end of the strap tool, push the other end of the pin all the way beyond the inside edge of the lug. Slide the end link downward, ensuring that the pin is lined up with the holes. Both pin ends will pop into place.
Finally, reattach the clasp and remove the tape. It is important to note that these instructions are not comprehensive, and other tips may exist.
