if you look closely, you'll see the posts to the right of the watch face are actually little metal sleeves through which the pin is pushed. use a small, technical screwdriver to try to push the sleeve off--or better yet, a pair of nail clippers you don't mind dulling. With the clipper blades, grasp the pin just below the sleeve and gently work the sleeve off. **DON'T USE PLIERS** you may crimp the sleeve and it will be rendered useless. After the sleeve is off, the pin will slide right out. Put the new band in place, then push the pin back through the holes. Seat the sleeve on the end you recently removed it from and gently tap it back into place with a small hammer (i actually used a crab mallet) . there you go!
