Casio Wave Ceptor w/ Metal band

[xam...@gmail.com]

I just recv'd this watch as a gift and there is no instructions on how
to shorten the watch band (metal). It has a model number stamped on it:
S-935L. I've seen similar questions around, but none of the answers
seem to work with this band. To answer the obvious question: no, the
links aren't held together by spring-loaded rods. Any help is
appreciated.

At http://groups.yahoo.com/group/casiowaveceptor/ there are a few links in
the links section which explain how to remove the links in a couple of types
of Wave Ceptor strap. If that doesn't help, you can ask the members of that
group for help.

How to re-size your watch band on the new style
Casio Watches by removing watch band links...

Casio has recently released the WVX100, which has a band that has many
people stumped. While most have a small arrow on the links that is used
as a guide, this new model does not have any external guides. This band
may also be used on other/ future models.

Press on the pin that connects the band to the clasp. Remove the band
from the clasp.

The pin should now be visible, and can be removed.

When the pin is removed, a small sleeve will slide off.

Removing the sleeve will provide access to another pin, which when
removed allows a retainer to be removed.

Removing the retainer allows a link to slide off.

Removing the link will provide access to another link and retainer
system.

Continue this procedure until the band is the proper size. The same
procedure works on the other side of the band. This allows the band to be
adjusted evenly, and still fit properly on the wrist. Once the band is to
the proper size, replace a pin and retainer, add the sleeve and larger
pin, and reconnect to the clasp.

Why does every new Casio watch have a new type of metal band which has to be
modified in a new and impossibly complicated way?

Dude all I know it they are comfortable and look good. The link system
is complicated by necessity in order to achieve a smooth junction between
the links. I admit I have only dealt with one, which was enough.

Hmm, none of the instructions applied to this watch band, so perhaps
it's another new band!? I ended up giving up and bringing it to a
Jeweler and they had it done in 15 minutes. Oh well, thanks for the
help!

If you look closely there should be a spring rod at the bracelet attach
point.

That is, there should be a spring bar where the clasp meets the links.

Right on the end of the clasp there are a couple of small lugs with a
hole in them, and a spring bar holding the clasp to the first link.
