How to adjust a Tissot PRX bracelet: links, tools and when to see a jeweller
Updated 5 November 2026. By Carlos Iglesias, ArTempo, Maastricht.
A new Tissot PRX usually needs links taken out before it fits. It is a small job that a jeweller can normally do while you wait, and you can do it at home with the right tool. Here is how it works, and the one rule to follow first.
First, be sure you are keeping the watch
You can try the watch on as you would in a shop, but leave the bracelet at its full length until you are sure. If you shorten it and then return the watch to us, we may deduct the loss in value from your refund. Our returns policy explains this.
Work out how many links to remove
Put the watch on with the clasp open and pinch the spare bracelet together under your wrist. Count the links you can pinch out while the watch still sits comfortably. Take out fewer than you think, because you can always remove another one. Taking the same number from each side of the clasp keeps it centred under your wrist.
What you need
- A bracelet tool or pin pusher of the right size.
- A soft cloth, so the steel does not scratch.
- A small tray for the pins and spare links. Keep them, as you may want them later.
The steps
- Lay the watch on the cloth with the inside of the bracelet facing up.
- Find the removable links. On many bracelets a small arrow on the inside shows which way to push the pin.
- Push the pin out in that direction and take the link out.
- Join the bracelet again and push the pin back until it sits flush.
- Try it on and repeat if needed, one link at a time.
Do not try to remove the first links next to the case. The PRX has an integrated bracelet, and those links are part of its shape. Removable links are found nearer the clasp.
When to go to a jeweller
Go to a jeweller if you do not have the tool, if a pin will not move, or if you do not want to risk marking the brushed steel. Ask the price first, because it varies from shop to shop.
