Easier to do if you have it on a non-slip surface and even easier if you have a 2nd person to hold the watch on it's side for you. Then just put the pins back in once you've taken out enough links (be sure that you put the pins back in the same way they came out - as you can see one side of the pin is 'split' and resembles a slot-head screw when it's inserted back into the link).

You might need something a bit bigger with a large flat surface to get that last part of the pin back in to the pinhole (like a larger square head screwdriver or a flat-head to press down on it).

I bought the watch as a gift but can't find ANY info on this watch whatsoever. Even the included materials did not provide specs for this particular watch (only general instructions).

I know there have been some posts about the lack of info about this watch already. Did anyone have any luck tracking down info?

powz wrote: ↑Hi Riddick, thanks for the link/clarification. The model # is slightly different on the site you posted (EW9530-89E) versus EW9530-54E for the Costco watch. I'm not sure if this reflects a difference in the watch or simply that the first one comes with a pendant. In any case, it's a nice watch but it's frustrating not finding any reference to it on the 'net or even the included materials!

Riddick wrote: ↑I just assumed that the EW9530 referred to the watch and the remaining letters were for the "packaging". I felt safe in the assumption since the watch looked the same, and also the fact that Citizen uses Swarovski crystals in other watches.

Gotcha wrote: ↑Oh is there a battery in there? I thought it was supposed to work indefinitely... no batteries or anythign to charge...
I'll google a citizen store and see if i can get it replaced... that would be awesome because my wife loves this watch and never got to wear it as often as she would like to...
