I've had my Sea Devil for a few days now. I decided to try it on a strap. Unfortunately I can't get the bracelet off. One of the pins comes out easily but the other one seems stuck. It will rotate but I can't remove it. Any suggestions before I take a hammer to it? :) |

Once you've taken off the screw and you have the tube with the oother screw end left, get a paperclip and unbend it and use the end to push the screw out. |

Thanks for the tip I tried it but it seems stuck fast. |

Hmmm...Have you tried it with something stronger then the paperclip but solid? |

I have the exact some problem with my watch. (ORange dial SD that I just got today) It looks great on the SS bracelet but I'd like to see what it looks like on the other. One side comes out very easily but the other side doesn't want to cooperate. Only one side will come out the other side just spins on itself and doesn't move. Help!! JF |

I just removed the screw and used the screwdriver to push the other one out rather than unscrewing it from the other side. Once it had come out once it was fine. |

I used my pin tool that I use to remove pins from bracelets....you want to be careful pushing it out with the screwdriver...you don't want to damage the end so the screw does not go back in.... Last edited on Fri Sep 25th, 2009 08:10 pm by Nabco |

Thanks Guys. I tried using the small screw driver that comes with the kit but it won't move one bit. I actually like the SS bracelet very much, but I'm just curious to see what the watch would look like on the leather or rubber. Any other suggestions? Thanks, JF |

I found that I had to push pretty hard when I used the screwdriver. |

Mine doesn't even move one bit. The screw on the other side turns with a lot of resistance. I don't know how you guys can use the screwdriver to push it out. It's a bit too big to even push the tube. This is extremely frustrating. I got these two awesome straps that I can't even use. JF |

I removed the small screw at one end but I can't push out the tube. The other side of the bracelet came out without a glitch. I will probably bring it to a jeweler, but I would like to fix it myself if possible. |

I will probably bring it to a jeweler, but I would like to fix it myself if possible. well using the screwdriver may damage the screw so use something smaller than the hole like a round toothpick or paperclip if you don't have springbar tool and just give it a good push....there is nothing else holding that tube in place unless it is bent for some reason or the opening has stretched/rounded out requiring a little more force to extract as I suspect you bought this SD pre-owned? |

Yes it's pre-owned but has seen almost no use at all. (worn about 4-5 times with rubber and leather bracelet unused). I've tried using the toothpick trick before. That's actually how I got the side of the bracelet to come off. |

Tried again with the toothpick pushing like crazy. The thing is not moving whatsoever. I think I've managed to mess it up in the process. The screw now goes back in but never gets fully tight. It's not sticking out or anything, but it's not getting fully tight either. :( |
