Thanks for contacting FixYa.
If you cant get the pins out, then you will need to take to a local jeweler/watch repair to have done as you probably dont have the right equipment.
Some watches are just more difficult then others, Jewel

SIZE ADJUSTMENT

If this watch has a metal watch band then links can be removed to make the band smaller.
OR
You maybe able to fit a new smaller watch band to the watch. A watch/jewellery shop will be able to fix or fit a new watch band.

How do I make the watch band smaller?

to adjust the size of your wrist...eat chocolate!
most watches with linked wristbands require the links removing.(small pins to b e pushed out) the type with the chain links usually have a clamp to release to slide the clasp up the band. the instructions should be with the watch manual. or ask a jeweler to help.

please post pictures if need more help so i can see the design

I need to adjust the band but the pins will not push out. I need help

You dont push out the pin as the pin is spring loaded which means you put a small knife at the end of the band were it fits to the housing of the watch and prize the boss down about 3mm and it will come away and you can do this from either end.
And do the same to refit after .

Other than removing links, can I make smaller adjustments to the band on my Omega seamster limited edition?

mcdevito75 here, You should right at the clasp, simply remove the pin and move the entire band up thru the other adjustment holes you see along side the clasp itself. If there aren"t any additional holes along side of the clasp for the band to move up closer to the clasp lock, then no other adjustments can be made.

How to make a relic watch bracelet a little smaller?

No but if this is a mens watch there might be a micro adjustment on the clasp. To adjust press the pin in the clasp and move the pin in or out depending on the position of the pin to make loose or tight.

Band ajustment

this is my home improvised kit:

1. channel lock pliers
2. a tiny nail that's small enough to fit just inside the band pin channel
3. maybe a hammer, or something heavy enough to smack the nail to force the pin out...i used the pliers as a hammer.
4. a pad of paper to use as a work mat.
Now on to the process...
1. find out which links need to be removed
2. find the pin to extract
3. line up your nail on the pin's head
4. give the nail a couple of good smacks
5. check to see if your making any progress on the band's opposite side. The paper pad is firm enough to take the blows while soft enough to let the pin poke it head out from the pounding
6. continue smacking the nail on the pin until you can grab its head with the pliers and pull out:)

The rest I'm sure you can figure out!

Band adjustment

I was able to take use a push pin (thumb tack) to get out the (split) pin. I put the thumb tack in the hole of the pin I wanted to remove, place the thumb tack upside down on our counter top and gently but firmly push the pin out. It only has to push out an 1/8 of an inch and then you can pull it the rest of the way. Thanks to the diagram that "guest" posted above - I copied and pasted: http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/WatchSchool/WS%2014%20How%20to%20Resize%20Common%20Bracelets/WS%2014%20How%20to%20Resize%20Bracelets.htm#Split%20pin%20bracelets in the browser and it showed me how the pins work in the wrist band. Didn't need all of the fancy tools. (:
