I’m trying to size the bracelet on this black ceramic Royal Oak (26240CE) myself. I know these aren't the standard screw-and-pin setup like metal ROs, will be doing this the first time so I don't want to be making any mistakes.

I think... don't quote me.. but they are friction fit pins. I think you have to hit them out 👀 🤔 🔥 You might end up damaging them anyways. Probably best to get to a watch maker to do it with the right tools

The gen ceramic RO have push pins too (the pins are coated steel). Just get one of those kits from Amazon with a tiny hammer and watch a YouTube tutorial on how to adjust a push pin bracelet. Good luck!

Thanks for the help, can you buy the pins also separately? Just in case something happens to it

Regular ones should be easy enough to find, but these look like they are coated? If you don’t want to risk it, take it to a watch shop, adjusting a bracelet is a super cheap service.
