    Silly Question, but I知 doubting myself...!

    Resizing a bracelet. Do the arrows indicate the way the pin pushes out (to remove a link), or the way in goes back in to reconnect the bracelet?

    Should know, done it a million times, but having a complete brain freeze...

    Thanks

    I've always treated it as a one way street. The pins only travel in the direction of the arrow. Removal from one side, reinstall on the other side, always pushing the direction of the arrow.

    Easiest to look down the holes. Solid (the head to push) or what looks like a screwdriver slot (the pin tail , not to push as locks ... been there done that )
