Michael Kors Watch Link Band Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

5 - 10 minutes

Introduction

Almost every watchmaker from Casio to Rolex produces watches with link bands. When adjusting or repairing a band becomes necessary, adding and removing links with a few special tools is the only solution. This comprehensive guide will demonstrate how to properly perform such manipulations on a Michael Kors brand wristwatch.

Tools

Step 1

Place the watch on your wrist and determine whether links should be added or removed.
If watchband needs to be expanded, approximate the number of links required.

Step 2

Set the watch on the block holder.
Ensure the arrows located on the links are pointing downward.

Step 3

When removing damaged or extra links, hold one end of the pin pusher against the pin to be removed.
Strike the other end of the pin pusher with the metal side of the watch hammer until the pin slides out.
Two pins hold each link to the band, so two pins must be removed per link.

look on the inside of the band, a lot of manufacturers put a directional arrow to show you which way to remove/insert the band pin, this is because these pins have a larger end on one side, if no arrow is present then removal is bi-directional…having said this, make sure your band doesn’t use screw pins, high grades like Rolex and others use screws….

Step 4

Discard the broken links or save any extra links that you remove.

Step 5

To add links to the watchband, position the watch on the block holder with the arrows facing upward.
Insert pins into the holes that connect the new link to the rest of the watchband.
Use the soft side of the hammer to strike the pin down.

Step 6

Lastly, make sure that all the pins joining the links are secured in place.

AAAAARRGH! I am finding it very hard to purchase one (1) rose gold and stainless-steel link to add to the MK6141 watch belonging to my wife. If anyone has any ideas, I would be very thankful. I am an 82-year-old pensioner (with reasonable computer skills) in Western Australia, but I am finding it very difficult searching on-line to locate and purchase a link. Due to age my wife's wrist has expanded slightly and as we have moved residences some of our personal effects "went missing?" (you can guess what went missing - I can't find the "missing link!) Any help would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to your responses. Cheers and a Happy New Year to all. Frank
