    A handy tip; Before you are going to use tools to resize your watch, practice this first on an old bracelet you will never use.

    I bought a 9311 Pro diver today. It was the all gold with black dial. Absolutely beautiful Chrisp bezel but I had to return it, I broke my tool trying to remove the link pins. They were so jammed in there. It was unbelievable and then I went to my jeweller and they couldn’t do it either. I don’t know if they were seized up, but they were just impossible to remove. I’ve had other invictas and never this problem. It’s a shame. It’s such a beautiful, watch it had the Swiss Quartz movement

    Better hope you never need to resize after you initially set it up. All the pins in my Pro Diver have all corroded and cannot be removed. I've lost weight and needed to adjust it. Turns out I have to buy a new bracelet. Meanwhile I have a stainless G-shock that is older which I've swam in, showered in, been rained on and sweat on and was still able to remove a link with no issue. Most likely the first and last Invicta I will ever own..

    Have two different Pro Divers here, like the ones in the video, and I cannot remove any of the pins. All the tools I bought keep bending and snapping, and I am doing it correctly. Going in the right direction as indicated by the arrows on the underside of the bands. No amount of using a pin press or punches and a hammer will move the pins more than 1mm before the tool bends or snaps off. Went through like 6 pin tools so far, nothing works... These pins in the bracelet are simply too tight and require too much force to remove on the two that I have...

    I replied to your other comment also. I made this as simple as I possible could. I only show the Invicta prodiver in the video but Invicta do use other methods other than pins so I thought it was worth the 2 seconds I spent in the upload talking about screws. I have a second longer video also if that helps. But I’m honestly not sure how much more simple I could have made that. You just need to give it a go or take your watch to a watchmaker
