Removing links from a Fossil watch

[MAD997V]

Does anyone know how to remove links from a Fossil watch when there is arrows pointing in either direction on the links?? I've already tried a jewellers who said he cldnt do it as the arrows normally only point in the one direction to show which way the pin shld come out! Is this yet another way big companies try & get money out of us.........ie only option to send it back to them & be charged a fortune! Ta in advance

Just told my mate who works for Timpsons.

He said Depending on the arrows if both point out from the center of the strap it meand they can be taken out from ither side.

Timpsons have a small punch tool to remove most links.

Sometimes Jewellers chance there arm.
