Tightening end links - how?

[Khan]

Hi 

My bracelet tilts/twists and I want to tighten it. I have a plier but could not press  that one side which is more open than other side of both link ends.

It needs to be reshaped correctly once removed from the watch.

You need the correct size round bar and ideally soft nosed pliers, hammer, vice etc.

Edit

What's the strap reference as it may just be easier for you to get a new strap.

It says Z1277 on the end link. Its a Seiko H461 600A.

Sorry it's not a cheap or easy strap to get hold of and the only one I know available is also mangled.

The problem you may also have is the pin on that end link could be bent or worn which would involve even more tools and work.

Yeah exactly, its a quite rare one. But it looks more even with a snug fit so I might be able to live with that anyway, thank you.
