More, Okies Spelled Backwards

Crumby is shrinking. They say, as one ages, one shrinks. Maybe that's a fact of life. But whether it's a fact of life or mere bullshit is not important. The fact is, Crumby's watch bracelet got too big relative to the possibly, incredibly shrinking Crumby. Too many limp Okie handshakes instead of a beefy Tejas cowgirl handshake over time? Mercy!

Action was called for. Somebody needed to resize Crumby's watch bracelet. And that someone, might as well be Crumby himself. Praise the WG!

OK. The particular Seiko bracelet we are now discussing is a little different seems like. I mean, Crumby has not seen that many men's bracelets, up close. But this one is different. Like queer different.

Check out the various stuff in this picture. Top is the watch with resized band that now fits perfectly. Middle is some Seiko pins. There are two pair of pins, then a pair that has not been pulled apart. The two pair on the left are pins that can be pushed out in the direction of the arrows (see arrows on links below the pins). The pins on the right are still stuck together with human exudate or body cheese. Note that the shape of the pins is slightly different as they must fit into the various shaped links. The pins pair on the right (stuck together) is from the opposite end of the pins on the band denoted by arrows. I guess, once you remove the pins with arrows, you can hammer these out if you need to.

When you remove the pins denoted by arrows, push them out in the direction of the arrows right below those dimples on the pins. Use like the other end of your spring bar tool. If you try to knock them out from the other end, south of the arrow, with a hammer and whatch-a-ma-call-it, you'll probably be sorry.

The most important gizmos in the picture are those things on the bottom row in the middle. Those are like little chain links an average person can open and close using a screw driver and pliers maybe. But they are way harder to open and close when pins are in situ than when they aren't. The last thing on the right bottom is, for want of a better term, a link housing with the pins and links all removed.

Hope this helps someone deserving.
