I bought a quicksilver l-train watch from steep and cheap, and it is too big. I know you can remove those sections of the band, and there are even arrows pointing in the direction of which the pin should be removed. I tried pushing out the pin, but it wouldn't move. I tried pushing from both ends, but nothing happened. Is there a special tool? Do i just go to some watch store, and they can do it?

Definitly bring it to a jewler(sp) and they'll do it for you for minimum charge.

The same thing happened to me like a year or two ago. I just took the watch to a watch shop, I donno if you have one of those around you. It only cost me like eight bucks I think.

you can do it yourself with a needle and a hammer, watch store would work too though.

if you can find one of the little tack nails you can punch it out, kinda like a door hinge, takes a little work to get it out
