Oris bracelet pins?!?!
Discussion
Hi,
I've just received my new Oris Aquis Date this morning but I just want to clarify something before wrecking it.

I want to resize the bracelet by removing the pins but looking at the pins they seem to be different from what I'm used to. I have two Omegas (Seamaster and Moonwatch) which utilize the pin and collar method. I use a hand held screw press which pushes the pins out in the direction of the arrow on the Omega strap. Doddle!
The Oris pins, however, when viewed from both sides appear to be a conventional pin from one direction but a screwed slot from the other. There is also no direction arrow to indicate which way the pin should be removed. The slot looks too small to accommodate a screwdriver.
Does anybody know what system Oris uses for their pins bearing in mind that this is also a new line of watches so I don't know if its the same as their previous watches as this is my first Oris.
How the hell do I get them out?!?!

Okay, I managed to get some photos, excuse the poor quality. I don't have a macro lens for my DSLR but hopefully they will to serve to illustate my point
In this photo you can see that the end of the pin seems to be a conventional pin end.

In this photo of the opposite end of the pin you can make out the slot that seems to suggest that it screws in / out.

What do you reckon? Am I going to have to find some (very) small screwdrivers? Does the older Oris range have the same setup?
