Because the fastener no longer works I want to remove the stainless steel bracelet and find a replacement. It isn't obvious how it comes off. The number 180869 is printed on the back of the watch but I don't know if this is the proper model number.

you need a small jewler screw driver or small pointed device.on the links close to the braclet conection you will see on each side about 4 to 5 links with small arrow pointing away.place small pointed device in small opening and push away from braclet.it is not real easy but push and pin will work out remove the 2 links,re connect,place pin back in place but place with the same curvature as band.that should do it.
