I was sent a watch as a present by a relative from hong kong. Its a watch by mild seven. never heard of em before. i guess it looks half decent, and its got a metal band. the bands too long, how do i shorten it? i know it has something to do with taking links out, but i don't know the trick:)

anyone know?

There should be certain links usually towards the middle of the band with arrows. Somehow you have to remove the pins on those to get the links seperated.

Usually there are small hole on the side of each link. If you push something small in there like a needle, you can push out the pin that holds the link together.

Mild 7's are Japanese cigarettes, BTW.

Pull links, it's easier if you have a store do it. Shouldn't cost more than a $ or two, & you don't risk scratching the watch (or puncturing your thumb) with your attempts with the needle.
