Push Pin Tool Worked!

I got my replacement Black SMP from Omega yesterday and this morning I sized the bracelet with the TZtool.com $16 pin pusher. Taking my time, I was able to accomplish the sizing WITH OUT any scratches or marks on the links! Remember, the outer side of the Speedmaster style bracelet is a mirror polish and could easily scratch.

The unit now comes with two short push pins and one long push pin. I used the long pin to almost completely push the pin out thus not having yank it out with a plyers. Then, I used the short pin to counter sink the pin inside the link.

Finally! Something that works and works well. Thanks to Keith for responding to my initial request as to how this tool worked. And thanks again for your dealer recommendation.
