Thread: How to push out lug pins ( not spring bars )

    How to push out lug pins ( not spring bars )

    jpg imagescertificity.com

    As you can see the bracelet is attached to the case by solid pins and not spring bars?
    Is there a special way to remove these or just forcefully push them out?
    Thanks in advance.

    If it's anything like the Zenith Rainbow it needs (careful) force to push the pins right through

    I wouldn't know on a Blancpain, but I have a Swatch with solid bars for the strap and they just push out, with some force, getting them out is also much easier then getting them back in. Reason being, with my uncoordinated hands anything I've used to push the solid pins back in has slipped either scratching the case or sticking into my flesh.

    This might be of use, post #6

    Oh yes, I second this, having used insufficient care it required the exact same watch to be sent to those nice people at Genesis for remedial action.

    And what are you going to do once the bracelet is off?

    Be careful not to scratch the case though. I would consider taping it up
