Adjusting bracelet size on Titanium Promaster Dive
Tried adding an additional link to the bracelet at home but I could not get the pin out no matter how hard I tried. I did it on another watch to make sure I was doing it right and it was easy but when I came back to the citizen I bent or broke every single metal object I had in my room trying to push the pin out and even damaged the hole a little bit. After 2 hours of non stop banging on the pin without any movement I gave up and took it to a jeweler to get it resized and they also bent one of their tools on it and when they finally got it out they had beat up some of the links pretty bad. Is it normal for a watch bracelet to require such force to take apart or was there a manufacturing error? The jeweler said the pins were extremely hard to get out and he bent the one he did get out so he gave me a new one.
