Using a straightened paper clip? Seriously? The author has clearly never sized a C60 or an Omega Seamaster bracelet.

Thanks for your explanation. The tip to place the pin on the arrow side and push in was right on! By far the best instructions out there.

I apologise for the post :oops: , i normally use a hammer and pin punch . Just thought it may be useful if you have no appropriate tools - and plenty of paper clips. :D :lol:
