Nice watch, 3 stars for difficulty removing links. Let's say 5 for the beauty and 1 for the size and complexity of link removal. The face is bigger than I expected but then again I never read to see if there are sizes. I'm by no means a petite person, I read reviews that it's too big, I thought maybe it would fit me. This watch would not fit a woman's wrist without links. I was beginning to think that this watch would not fit in any way. Eventually, after much determination, I pulled the pins out with a thumbtack/thumb and a small hammer. Very embarrassing for a long time. Maybe the jeweler would have the right stuff. I felt like I needed a vise to hold him still. I had to remove 2 links on either side and if I was correct I had to remove 4 pins in total. Also, they have to come from the right direction. On the one hand it's bigger, I have it left to right I think.
