Adjusting Tag Aquaracer bracelet

[EdHughes1]

Any have any experience of removing bracelet links from a new Aquaracer?

Looks like standard push out pins but took it to a watch guy this afternoon who said it needed a special Tag tool that “pinches from both sides”. He didn’t have one.

It’s one of these:

Their just pins and collet. Dosn't matter which end you push it out from.

Last one I touched was about 9 months ago but just looked the same as yours.

I’ve a GMT aquaracer which has same bracelet. Nothing special on it just pins and collar .Be careful not to loose the collar as it’s so small it’s easy misplaced.
Check for The half link as well , I had to remove that to be able to get the micro adjustment just right.

Ok thanks that’s helpful, cheers chaps.

I did mine about 3 weeks ago. As per previous comments, it’s a pin & collar system. There’s no arrows on the backs of the links as it doesn’t matter which direction you push them out. It’s quite tight and fiddly to do as the bracelet is well machined - took me longer to resize this bracelet than any other watch I’ve had. I’d advise doing it on a white towel so you don’t lose any little collars.

Is there a specific tool to push the links out or just a long nose pliers will do the trick?

The last two TAG bracelets I altered for family were indeed pin & collar, and both a bit of a pain - very tightly fitted & stubborn to adjust. A small hammer was necessary for ‘persuasion’ (on the watches, not the family members!).

Pliers not get them out .
Small hammer and pin is needed, most of the cheap watch tool kits are more than good enough for adjusting bracelets -amazon & eBay have them for about a tenner

Small hammer and a pin punch might be useful after you've pushed part of the pin through because they can be very tight when pulling them out.
