Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This repair guide demonstrates how to remove and replace damaged watch links on your Bulova Precisionist 96B252. However, the steps should be similar for other watches with metal links. This guide aims to go over the process of removing the faulty watch link from the watch band and replacing it with a new one.
A watch band is sometimes composed of metal links that are connected to form the band. The links can be removed and replaced as needed using a few tools that are specific to watches. Occasionally, the links will bend, get scratched, or damaged and a replacement is necessary. This guide can also be used to remove a link if the band is too large.
