Hello,

What would it cost to size a Super Avenger pro 2 bracelet at an AD? This wouldn't be the AD of purchase in this case?

Thanks

1st off, you should refrain from posting the same question in multiple threads. Give it some time and the first thread will usually get a reply or 100.

2nd if you bought the SA at a AD they should size the bracelet for free. If you bought it second hand or grey market they might charge you $10-$20 but that would vary

3rd, its not that hard to size a bracelet yourself as long as you have the correct screwdriver.

Hope this helps

Scott

Hi everyone! This is my first post since I purchased my Skyland with the Pro 2 bracelet. I have the tools and can get the screws out, but I can't get the posts out to remove links to make the bracelet smaller. As is, it might be too big for Hulk Hogan.

Any suggestions?

Maybe you're missing something - I did the 1st time I tried to do this.

Good luck!

O my gosh, this was perfect. I was missing something. Didn't realize that each link section has two posts, not just one. I got one of 'em out, but the problem I'm having now is that some of the screws just WILL NOT break loose. I'm having a very difficult time getting some of the screws out, and worried about ruining the slot on the screw head

Don't know why they should be so tight.

Thanks a lot for pointing me to that video.

They have Loctite on them - that's why they are tight. Try tightening them slightly and then loosening them, that generally helps. If you aren't sure - take it to an AD. If they charge you it will be less than the cost of a new screw!

What you can also do is try using WD40 or something similar (I use a spray called Rocal which is used for loosening screw-threads) on a bracelet with stubborn screws. You DEFINITELY have to make sure you remove the bracelet from the watch head first as these sprays are pretty messy, and they need a little while to soak into the thread, but they always usually work fine. You also need to make sure you wash the bracelet in soap and water, before a final rinse in clean fresh water before re-attaching it to the watch.

No problem at all.

What you said is exactly what I went through the 1st time - the same with the tight screws too. The right size screwdriver is the key, as the others have said. Try a different link - it does not need to be the first one - could be the middle!
