Hi Ivy,

The two tubes will slide into holes in the two "fingers". Slide them into the holes,then line up the two pieces of bracelet. Notice this picture shows the tubes next to the two "fingers". It will be a tight fit lining up the holes and getting that pin backed in. You will have to exert some pressure and get the holes to line up at the same time. I usually push the assembly on something hard to drive the pin in. This is where you have to be carefull because this is where pins usually get bent. If this happens, you will have at least one extra pin from the link you removed, and extras are available to purchase, so it's not the end of the world.

Again, make sure you back the pin in opposite the arrows and with the crimp in the pin going in last.

If it's not too late, you could also measure your wrist and have your Dealer give a first crack at sizing it for you before he sends it to you. My Dealer does this on a regular basis.

Good Luck.
