Resizing a OceanX Sharkmaster 1000 SMS1012 bracelet.

[Rapid 17]

Hello, has anyone resized the bracelet on an OceanX Sharkmaster 1000 SMS1012 ? if yes, is there screws or pins in the bracelet ? I've recently bought one of these watches.
The reason I'm asking is I watched a video on YouTube where a guy reduced the bracelet size of a Seiko watch which had what appeared to be screws in the bracelet but they were actually pins. The Sharkmaster has what look like screws but I tried to unscrew one without success

Posting a couple of pictures would help say for sure.
If the screws are not moving they may have a dab of loctite on the thread which will require them to be warmed up in order to lose the them (soak in hot water for a bit)

They are screws just like the Rolex deepsea

Thank you for replying. I found a member of this forum on another forum I inhabit, (https://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/index.php) he's owned this watch and confirmed it has screws. He also advised heating the link with a hairdryer for 20 seconds to weaken the Loctite.

I use a gas powered soldering iron, without the tip, so it’s a very small blow torch. Few seconds at a time on the back of the screw end. Soon softens up to allow removal.

Use Loctite 222 low strength thread lock when putting it back together.
