Hi guys, and gals I suppose If we have any here,
Well I just went down to the shop that I bought my watch from to have the bracelet adjusted. Apart from them being unhelpful the guy said that he couldnt change it on the spot, most times it would take a day to do the job. Changing links must be very demanding. Whatever!
Anyway I managed to convince him to do it for me, and now that i have my watch back it appears that the tool (the guy that is) managed to whack one of the links leaving a big dint in it.
So now I'm thinking "sod this" and reverting to my week old idea of getting my own link removing device.

That "Screw-Type Link-Pin Remover" (pic below) seems to be the buisness. I have built speakers / computer / electonric stuff and consider myself "handy" at doing this kind of thing, so I doubt Ill destroy anything. I love my watch too much to hurt it!
The quesitons:
1/ Would someone be able to give me a step-by-step guide to removing the links in a bond SMP. You'd never have to do it again because I am going to write the process up and put it on my site for others to see!
2/ On another note, is it possible to overwind the SMP with the crown? How about by just moving it too much?
Thanks in advance people,
Nathan
