    Hi,

    there's currently a iwc ingenieur without the pins included that I want to buy, I wonder what aftermarket tools can I buy to remove the bracelet or the link if needed?

    Also, there's another ingenieur that have the pin and have a mint condition for extra $200. Should I go for that or get the one without pint and few scratches on the Watch?

    Thank you

    Obviously we can't advise you on which watch to buy without seeing them, but the best advice I can give you is always buy the best watch in the best condition you can afford. So in this case, mint condition with full set should be better.

    With regard to the pin pushing tools, an IWC dealer or boutique can order them for you and they are not expensive.

    Also, two toothpicks do the job just fine :o)

    Good toothpicks work, so do straightened paper clips (but because not to scratch your watch).

    If you live close to a boutique, you can go in and ask them to give you a set. I know boutiques are pretty generous in that sense.
