Re: Scratch on Bracelet

: My bracelet was also scratched a little when I

: own from now on when possible.

Having done my own adjustment with a screw-type pin tool, I can see how folks can damage (scratch) the side of the link. First, yYou must be careful to unscrew the press enough to allow the "pin pusher" (ram) to clear the bracelet. Then you must be certain that the ram is neatly seated in the hole and axially aligned with the bracelet pin. If the pin is flush with the side of the link, then you really have to be careful to get things started. This may be the step where most people cause scratches.
