Remove Two Screw Links On A Sar Marathon Watch Strap

Similar style watch band


Marathon watches produce SAR (Search and Rescue) watches based on U.S. and Canadian government specifications. They offer watches with either rubber or stainless steel watchbands. Marathon steel watchbands use an easy-to-adjust screw-based link system. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Lay the watch face down on the soft cloth to prevent scratching the watch face or case.


2. Lay the bracelet flat, and find the links in the watchband that contain flathead screws. Each half of the bracelet will have two or three links which include screws - these links are designed to be removed to size the bracelet. Place masking tape around the links that you are working with, to prevent scratching if you slip.


3. Place one screwdriver on each side of a single link. While holding one steady, turn the other screwdriver counterclockwise. Repeat removal of links to size the watch.


4. Remove the screw after it has been unscrewed, then pull the rest of the link from the other side of the band.


5. Reattach by reversing the process, turning the screw clockwise to tighten the link after reattaching them.
