I've been looking at some vintage stuff ...

and noticed that a lot of the Tudors and Rolex vintage watches have the hollow, folded link bracelets. How do you adjust one of these?

Don't worry David, shitty looking bracelets and corroded dials give these watches "character".

I found the folded bracelets kind of uncomfortable for me. Swapped it out immediately and sold it off to a sucker (Adam)

Meh.

Gotta keep it real:

And that means a folded-link 9135T with a Tudor shield clasp. Period.

My 16800 gets the solid-link 91350:

how true.

All joking aside, Terry is right... You use the punch to coax the u shaped link pin out a little then the pliers to pull it the rest of the way out... To put it back in, a small jewelers hammer on a hard rubber surface works.
